Nathan & Mercury is bound for Singapore this September for Music Matters but had a sort of despedida with a bang by launching a brand new single and two music videos.
The soul-infused alternative rock band released music videos for Fools, and their newest single, Rumours.
Already known as a hit single since 2018, Fools has been instrumental to Nathan & Mercury's instant success despite not releasing an album when it garnered nearly a million streams on Spotify and YouTube combined. Its music video is a visually arresting piece that follows a non-linear format.
“The song in itself is very emotional,” said Nathan Huang, N&M’s lead singer and guitarist. “Through the song, we were able to hear heavy emotions. This time, through the video, we wanted to visualize what those emotions are.”
Meanwhile, Rumours serves as a follow-up to the well-received track. Written as a direct response to the ever-so-thriving culture of gossip, tattletales, and fake news; the band’s funky pop jam thumps over instrumentation with renewed energy and starry-eyed groove, showcasing their looser, more confident side. Its music video displayed bits and pieces of a story without much explanation.
“It’s a spell of rant coming from someone who is tired of all the lies,” said drummer Daniel Monong.
“We wanted to emulate what it would be like to hear a rumor,” added bassist Angelo Sison. “We did that by depriving the viewers of the whole picture.”
Rumours music video was directed by Kevin Mayuga, the same person behind Chicosci’s Buzzin, Moonwlk’s Prefer, and Nathan & Mercury’s very own Fools.
“We trust him enough to get the job done,” guitarist Alex Samonte points out. “Initially, we briefed him on the Fools MV only, but along the process, we thought it would be nice to have him on board for Rumours MV as well since we saw how prepared and committed he is since meeting #1 and so on.”
Even before the release of its recording, Rumours has been one of the top favorites during their live performances, especially by followers of Nathan & Mercury's career from the start. In fact, it earned the band a nomination in the MYX Music Awards 2019 for Bandarito Performance of the Year.
As part of the send-off to Music Matters 2019, Nathan & Mercury will be gracing the stage of its fundraising gig this coming Tuesday (3 September 2019) at saGuijo in Makati City.
The music videos of “Fools” and “Rumours” are now out on YouTube. You can also stream their latest single “Rumours” on Spotify, YouTube, Deezer, and other streaming/download platforms.
