Gab De La Vega unveils his latest single and music video, “Northern Lights” taken from the upcoming fourth studio album, “Life Burns,” set for release on March 1, 2024. This marks his collaboration with SBÄM Records, overseeing the worldwide release of “Life Burns,” in partnership with labels like Sell The Heart Records (United States), Epidemic Records, Motorcity Produzioni, and Overdrive (all in Italy).
“I wanted to share “Northern Lights” as the second single taken from the upcoming album becauseit is one of the tracks that most reflects the sense of depth that “Life Burns” will have, both in soundand lyrics.”, says the Italien singer.
Juxtaposed with “Off My Chest” it definitely creates the kind of contrast that can makeyou realize how rich this album is in every sense of the word.
“This album represents the most honest and unfiltered side of myself, not just as musician, but as a person balancing between the negativethings of life and the drive towards the positive ones, between being right and being wrong, dreamsand reality.For what concerns “Northern Lights”, it is a song that plays with emotions, touching peaks inevery direction, transforming for example the concept of solitude, presenting it not as a negativeelement, but as a companion on the journey toward awareness of one’s condition within the complexdesign of life. A moment of redemption that explodes in the serenity that comes through a deep andnecessary catharsis in the human experience.”Quote about the video:“The video was an idea of my guitarist and producer Simone Piccinelli. I knew it needed to besomething very particular, just like the song. Simone had this vision for this video and he thoughtwe needed something that could visually match the song and its nature. I gave him carte blanchebecause I knew I could trust his creativity. Joey Gaibina behind the camera did all the rest. I simplyhad a great time filming this on a cold december day on Lake Garda, which is not far from where Ilive. I think the visuals match the intensity of the song and the landscapes we used in the video areperfect for the kind of lyrics this song has.”
