LOVECOLOR is the new project from singer/songwriter and producer Vanessa Silberman and Ryan Carnes. Silberman has been a die-hard musician and engineer for years, while Carnes comes from the acting world. Together, their music is based on pulsating synth layers and shimmering hooks, carried over to a massive pop scale. They debuted last year with a trio of new singles, “Dangerous,” “Pure Love” and “Crazy Love,” and returned earlier this year with their latest track, “Hearts on Fire.” Today, they share a new video for “Crazy Love,” premiering with Under the Radar.
With “Crazy Love” the pair deliver a shimmering alt pop track, driven by a steady drumbeat, glassy synth textures and rippling guitar blasts. At one point, Silberman's lyrics describe the eponymous romance as “Melodramatic, tender and manic,” and it's just as much about the song itself, especially when she builds a soaring, arena-ready guitar solo to chart the ride to the end . Meanwhile, the accompanying video captures the themes of wild-eyed romance, painting the pair's highs and lows in dramatic black-and-white hues.
Silberman says of the track, “We really wanted to capture a super 80s pop sound, mixed with some crazy 90s grunge guitar and some fun pop vocals, while lyrically playing with the idea of what “crazy love” and what it's like. Love can make your emotions feel simply amazing, ecstatic, crazy, erratic and like being trapped inside a washing machine.”
Carnes adds, “Sometimes they last, sometimes they don't, but they always come with big feelings. We wanted to write a song that evokes those big feelings and evokes the warm fuzzies of a sexy connection full of whimsy and romance, however fleeting. There is often a kind of intoxication that seems to come from those that are not meant to last… those that end as quickly as they began. There is a sheen to them, but it's often an illusory sheen that betrays a lack of staying power and real compatibility. That which is all shines, and no substance can be intelligent enough.'
Director Jamie Wollrab adds of the video: “When I was first approached to direct the video for Crazy Love, I thought about how so many people have chaotic romantic relationships. However, after listening to the song, I was compelled to relate the crazy/love story the artist has with his art – how out of our minds it is to pursue a career in music or acting, much less trying to have a stable relationship at the circus. So the video is an ode to trying to make peace with our creative muse in more ways than one.”
