‘New Life’ is the powerful new soulful-techno outing from some of the most prominent brothers in the world of electronic dance music, Octave One. Armed with a pulsating bass line, driving beats and those lush, dramatic signature O1 strings, ‘New Life’ carries a message of positivity beautifully sung by Atlanta vocalist, Afrika (aka Lana Fallon). She is a versatile vocalist hailing from Atlanta. She previously worked with the likes of Tupac, OutKast & Curtis Mayfield as an engineer back in the day, but now shines as a singer in her own right! Directed by Madrid video creatives W0RKT34M, Octave One’s choice theme for the video was synchronised swimming because of it’s sheer beauty and strength. It also includes some fantastic divers who were discovered whilst training at the same venue. The talented stars on the video are young Madrileños from Tecnificación, a national Spanish program to create future athletes for all sports. A massive hit for sure !
