“Rebel” by Ormiston: washed-out vocals contrast with the popping, groovy basslines that amplifies the funk influences that are evident throughout this gloriously infectious indie-pop song, with the chorus-drenched guitars completing the throwback vibe. Effectively bringing a much-needed dose of feel-good vibes, “Rebel” instantly brightens the listeners mood and encourages you to dance: play this song loud and dance along to instantly lift your spirits.
The old-school video vibes are a perfect match that ensure the aesthetic nature of the video further enhances the character of the song. Such a well-thought-out video demonstrates exciting creativity and attention-to-detail that dements it in our memory and makes it a memorable song and video – making this a successful video that achieves its aims of being a visual piece of artwork that also helps the music to reach a wider audience.
Speaking about the production studio vibes of the music video, director Ariel Poupart says:
“Along with Ormiston, we decided to go with a Top of the Pops setting for his musical performance. I loved the texture of the song Rebel that felt very analogic to me. I wanted to recreate that same texture though the images and got very inspired by everything that could alter the image. When we settled on using old cathodic televisions as a means to distort and modify the visuals, I got very enthusiastic and so we got 13 of them!”
