CLOSER - Vince Harder X Abby Lee
One thing 2020 has done is slow us down and for better or worse brought us closer. With lockdowns and uncertainty many creatives have harnessed this time to create and collaborate in new ways. Producer and songwriter, Vince Harder and his wife, singer songwriter Abby Lee have done just that with their debut single, 'Closer’.
"The inspiration for “Closer” was we wanted to write a song that captured our initial feelings when we got together 10 years ago. We wanted to re-visit the first stages of a new romance and how to establish a new relationship" the couple said
Although they'd always worked together through their company and performed covers online this was their first official release of original music.
"I think when Covid hit, it really gave us the opportunity to pursue some ideas and inspiration really hit for us both."
Could this be the start of an album together?
"Most Likely, we have quite a few songs now, so it's probably just a matter of going through all of them and really refining the body of work and figuring out timings"
"We’ve got more music planned for release, I finally have some live performances coming up in December. Together we have been working with some up and coming recording artists like Ella Monnery and Hamo Dell, and some exciting new projects next year that I can’t talk about just yet so keep your eyes on my socials for more details." - Vince added
‘Closer’ tells the story of being in love and figuring out the boundaries of one’s relationship.
The music video, directed by Abe Mora and shot in a warehouse in the mighty Waikato, brings a whole lot of dance moves, so get ready Tik tokers!
