Scream your little heart out with help from Retro Color's latest music video for "The Story of Us," now available on YouTube.
Hello Retro Color, and welcome to BuzzMusic. We're incredibly impressed with the overall performance you've offered within your latest music video for "The Story of Us." When did you begin creating ideas and concepts for the music video?
Ideas for the music video came probably about 2 months ago when the song was written. This song was a unique one where the song release came very quickly after the song was finished and we needed a music video idea ASAP.
What inspired the contrasting scenes of you in a dark-painted room and exploring the suburban streets of California within the video for "The Story of Us?"
The idea behind the video is that there is this guy who has been broken up with and having a hard time dealing with the situation. We figured having it all based on suburban backdrops would make the most sense; hence the dark-painted room being the living room and then walking outside the neighborhood street.
Did you team up with any directors or videographers to help bring your visuals to life for the music video "The Story of Us?"
This video was completely produced by my team and me. We ended up filming everything on our own as well (which I think was the biggest obstacle that we needed to overcome because none of us are proper videographers).
When creating the single itself, "The Story of Us," did you have any artistic influences in mind? Was there a particular sound or feeling you were going for?
This song was originally written by my friend Zach and me. We were sitting down in our apartment and wrote the chorus, thinking that it would be a Zack Decay song (his original music). The song was not ever finished, it was just a lone chorus idea, and we came to an agreement that it sounded more RC than ZD. After all of this had been discussed, I ended up finishing the song with a more pop-punk/summer anthem-type sounding song. If I had to pick inspirations for this song, I’d say a lot of it has to do with the new revival of pop-punk artists coming to the scene.
What's your favorite release of this year, from an independent artist?
I have so many favorite releases! But if I could narrow it down, I have been digging new Yungblud, Greta Van Fleet, and I’ve been jamming to Badflower (which I believe their only album was released in 2019 or something).
