We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Patrick Doval’s new music video for his song “Crush” (watch it below). Doval comments on the music video:
“The subject matter in my songs has always inspired me to create a video interpretation, a world where symbolic images are portrayed to the listener and the viewer. Classic sci-fi and horror films have always been a personal favorite of mine as well. I have personally directed, edited and recreated music videos for my songs with inspirations from the 1933 film version of ‘King Kong’ to the 1960 H.G. Wells classic, ‘The Time Machine’. In the video for ‘Crush’, I was inspired by the 1958 cult film, ‘Attack of the 50-foot woman’, yet I changed the story quite a bit. In the music video, the giant woman can be perceived as someone who is unattainable. Yet after having an encounter with a UFO and being exposed to my music, the energy transforms her to a giantess and an obsessive fan, as she is drawn to me and wants to find out more about me. Roles become switched as she begins to chase and examine me, as seen in the video with with her magnifying class. I never perceived that someone so unattainable, someone so out of reach, could be interested in me. In the end, I put my arms around her and the crush becomes reality. Or does it ? As an artist, I have always felt that art should be left to the spectator’s imagination. The suspense and mystery of everyone’s interpretation, is what gives art value, and makes every artists work, unique.”
