Halo Maud shares new dream-pop single, "My Desire Is Pure"
Halo Maud has shared the brand new single, "My Desire Is Pure”, which is taken from the forthcoming album, Celebrate.
“The song is built around the ascending melody found in the refrain and also the phrase which became the title. I realised, once the song was completed, that it was constructed resembling a mountain: an ascending and descending melody providing relief, an arid guitar riff like boulders. And there is space: there aren’t many words and each sung phrase is punctuated by an instrumental motif, flowerbeds, a grove," Halo Maud explains.
"From the vocals flow the desire, a pure and clear water source pouring into a stream. The stream watering the green prairies below. Desire as a source of life, freshness, creativity, perpetual movement. I adore this state of insatiability which compels me forward. I wanted to say that I live as a function of my desires, and that this desire never ends but transforms, into love, into songs, into a walk in the forest.”
The track follows previous releases, “Terres Infinies” and “Pesnopoïka”, and comes accompanied by a video which features Maud frolicking in the snowy French Alps.
Speaking on the video she adds: “Mountains have always been a magical place for me, triggering an instant feeling of fullness. Hence I asked Adrien Selbert to go filming in the French Alps. We wanted whiteness, of course, the symbolic purity of the snow. Physical effort and animality. We wanted almost nothing, except an unexpected outcome.”
Celebrate is set for release on 22 March via Heavenly Recordings. Halo Maud recently announced news of UK/EU live dates in April and May including support shows with Jane Weaver.
