Released on Friday, April 25/25, Peach on a beach's latest single “Forget About 51” is a bold and patriotic electro-pop anthem celebrating Canada’s unified response to recent geopolitical tensions and trade disputes.
The edgy
track blends driving beats and pulsating synths with passionate vocals and
lyrics addressing themes of national identity and resilience. The song came together rather quickly after I had woke up early one Saturday morning with a fresh perspective.
Several people close to me have said it's my best song to date.
My goal was to create a video that connects with Canadians from coast to coast to
coast. Those who know me well won't be surprised to see that hockey is one of the central themes.
Using VideoProc, i found free clips from Pexels and Vecteezy to create the video that shows iconic imagery from across our great nation. I also leaned on some friends from as far away as the Yukon, as well as my own video library to add some local flavour from my hometown in Clare, Nova Scotia.
