Harts’ first official video in years doesn’t disappoint, featuring the flamboyant rock, soul and funk star showcasing his signature stage moves amongst the psychedelic colours and imagery that permeate Smoke Fire Hope Desire. The video was directed by Young Black Youth (who previously directed clips for Gang Of Youths’ ‘Benevolence Riots’ and Allday’s ‘Right Now’), who described the clip as, “a celebration of the power of humanity and youth in particular. Juxtaposed with the beauty and power of nature.”
“We wanted to make a performance based clip,” explains Harts mastermind Darren Hart. “The intention interlacing with symbolic imagery of the song’s message and meaning. The director’s concept and execution of this idea was great, which made it a really fun video to shoot. And that jacket was fire hot… Literally.”
Harts will also be embarking on the huge, national, ‘Power’ headline tour this September/October, playing club shows in Newcastle, Sydney, Geelong, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Ballarat – starting September 16. Tickets are on sale now!
