Video of the Day: Paula Rae Gibson and Matthew Bourne share ‘Who Could Say No’ from new album
Monday, March 4, 2024
The singer and keyboardist share the haunting video for their starkly beautiful track ahead of the release of their new album on 5 April on 33 Xtreme
Loving In Real Time is the haunting new album, traversing avant-jazz, ambient and intimate torch-song by highly acclaimed artists: photographer and singer songwriter Paula Rae Gibson and pianist/composer, Matthew Bourne. The album is released on 5 April 2024 via the 33 Xtreme label (on CD / download).
The material for Loving In Real Time was collaboratively developed in response to Paula Rae Gibson’s debut album, No More Tiptoes (2008). Previous tracks were used as a stimulus, a springboard, from which Gibson and Bourne would address and respond to by creating and moving away from – delivering this whole new body of original songs and compositions. Loving In Real Time chronicles the unexpected journeys tentatively taken in the early days of an intense, romantic relationship. It tracks the twists and turns of navigating emotional waters, lashed to the mast of strong feelings, potentially choppy and fraught, yet irresistible. There’s an excitement on the part of the listener as to how the relationship will fare – not so much a rom com, however, as a rom noir.
Commenting on the video Gibson said: "We shot this video and photographs in January in between storms in Grosseto, Italy – I had dreamt of a door and the sea and chairs which I translated as opportunity and paired thoughts – me second guessing love and all that. My lover, who I wrote the album about took the shots – us directing all together. I release this under our nicknames for each other G and J to free myself to do more classical work than I do under my own name when I feel like it and as a way to communicate with J in the best way I know how.”
