Music News - It’s landed! Matt Nanai’s 'I Need Somebody' brought to life in cool animated video
20 September 2022 - 0 Comments
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO - it’s Matt Nanai as an animated Samoan superhero in his hot new music video for single I Need Somebody - out now!
Skillfully created by animator Articulate aka Uelese Vavae this new music video is slick and action-packed - brilliantly bringing Matt’s hit single to life. Matt said that I Need Somebody is “about wanting to do amazing things for someone, but can’t in real life, so creating your own Superhero story.”
Sonically I Need Somebody has a synth 80's vibe and will transport you to some of cinema’s greatest love stories and their iconic scenes. Created with the help of NZOA New Music Pasifika funding, it follows on from his explosive debut single Let’s Dance and was entirely performed/recorded and produced by the artist himself, with the exception of Moiho Leaupepe on lead guitar, Nate Peseta on vocals and mixing by Scott Seabright.
Self-described as a ‘jukebox of Soul, Gospel, Funk, R&B, Reggae & Pop’ Matt hails from Tāmaki Makaurau’s Mount Roskill, where he grew up being surrounded by music through church, family and friends. Musical influence also came from the Underground Industry, fellow Aotearoa musicians, and artists such as John Mayer and Michael Jackson. He’s been on the scene for 10 years, performing as lead singer/guitarist for Auckland venue Sweat Shop’s Friday night band The Beat Council, and playing guitar for some of Aotearoa’s top acts. Now, he’s stepping further into the spotlight as a solo artist. With two incredible singles released and much more to come from this up-and-comer - Matt Nanai is a name to remember!
