Travis Shares New Music Video for “Nina's Song”
Back In October 2020, Scottish rock band Travis released their ninth studio album “10 Songs” for the first time in four years.
From the album, the band dropped a new music video for “Nina's Song” directed by frontman Fran Healy.
The video was filmed in Los Angeles, Glasgow, Lancaster and Liverpoo, featuring a cat named Huey.
Fran Healy told Apple Music about the song, “This is one of my favorite songs. It was not even going to be on the record because I was a little bit embarrassed about it, because it was too personal—and it was almost like a show song. It was about seven-year-old me saying to my mom one day, 'Hey, mom, is there a dad shop? Can you go to the dad shop and get me a dad?' I still wish there would be, because everyone needs a dad, and not a shit dad. They need a good dad who's going to be there for them, and be someone to rely on. I never had that. I didn't realize how important a dad was until I became one myself.”
He said of the video, “Huey, our British Blue, is the breakout star of the video. It took a long time. He was very patient though and grateful for all the treats.” He continues, “To make him sing I worked with Hao Li and his company Pinscreen. Hao is one of the most renowned deepfake* artists in the world. It’s actually the first time a deepfake has been made between a human and an animal. The engineers had to push their technology to new places to achieve this. Very smart folk and a lot of fun to work with.”- source : TOTALNTERTAINMENT
