New Music Preview: Ray LaMontagne – Supernova
Here is Ray LaMontagne’s new music video for his recent single, “Supernova,” off the upcoming album by the same title. To make it even more special, this is LaMontagne’s very first music video ever. This is what LaMontagne had to say in regards to this rare moment:
I first came across (director) Lucy Dyson’s work through the video for Gemma Ray’s lovely song ‘RescueMe.’ I was hooked immediately. Genius. I was instantly taken with her Terry Gilliam-esque use of layered, ragged cut-out images. To me that was the anchor. A familiar place for my imagination to leap from. But very quickly you realize that the narrative is taking you somewhere that you didn’t expect. It feels like you’re on a roller coaster in some weird circus of the psychedelic burlesque. And yet, underneath all that strange and beautiful imagery there’s this sense that she is truly emotionally invested in the storytelling. To me, it’s like she can see within a song some hidden fourth dimension, a dimension that you didn’t even know existed until she pulls aside the curtain and invites you in.
Ray LaMontagne’s fifth album, Supernova, is due out on May 6 via RCA Records.

I’m really liking this new track from Ray. He’s released so much great music and it’ll be awesome to see another fantastic addition to his discography next month. It’s available for pre-order over on Amazon, and I definitely recommend snaggin’ a copy: http://www.amazon.com/RayLaMontagne
