Sophia Bastian Releases New Video "Gloryboxed"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) New York soul singer Sophia Bastian has released an alluring new video for"Gloryboxed". Inspired by mixtape culture, Sophia wanted to pay homage to Portishead's classic "Glory Box" and took the instrumental to a new place. "I used to listen to 'Glory Box' as a kid a lot and was always mesmerized by the melancholy mystique of it," says Sophia. Watch the video here



Sophia co-directed and styled the video alongside directors Severin Winzenburg and DP Jakob Wiessner to create a classic cinema aesthetic. They sought out a twist on the setting in order to play into the non-transparent storyline; the video was shot on a foggy day against the backdrop of a usual sunny and bright Alpine scenery. Upcoming actor Simon Lohmeyer stars as Sophia's moody counter part.
