Future Static release new music video for ‘Gasolina’

FUTURE STATIC have released a new music video!

The new music video, for a cover of Puerto Rican rapper DADDY YANKEE‘s Gasolina, is the brand new single from the Melbourne-based alternative heavy outfit and follows on from their previous single, Venenosa, which was released in July last year.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist Amariah Cook explains, “over there, the metalheads hate reggaeton, so bringing those two mortal enemies together was an entertaining idea for me. I’ve always had a part in my soul that wanted to try to merge these two socially and musically opposing groups together. Apart from it connecting me to my Spanish roots, doing this cover also meant blending all of our lives together. Even though we were all raised in such vastly different lifestyles and places… It is one of those songs which was extremely popular all over the world, and with this cover, we strive to bring back that sense of planetary community.”

Accompanying the release of Gasolina is a music video directed by Colin Jeffs [MAKE THEM SUFFER, ALPHA WOLF]. Jeffs comments, “I am always about doing cool, hype clips that turn heads and I felt like this song was the perfect tune to do a head-turner to. We tried to pay homage to the original video, with it being sexy and fun. We tried to modernise that, and add our own flavour and flair to it. I think we did an excellent job of reimagining the song, whilst still keeping a lot of the flavour of what it was like back in the day.”
