Dropping awesome live videos is Sophia Habib showcasing her amazing artistry as she collaborates with Cloud Orchestra for three stunning live performances. She released the official music videos on YouTube, weekly, for three weeks, at the start of April, and also made the tracks available to download and stream, across all platforms.
For the performances, she chose the tracks “Thank You”, “Lifeline”, and “We Can’t Work This Out”; the latter two, of which, are taken from her 2022 album “Fragile”, and she has gifted us all with a brand new track, titled “Thank You”.
All three have had a huge production video created, directed by Eloi Genrich and Rebecca Weltner, whilst Jorick Buurstra acted as director of photography. Impressing to no end with her vocals, it’s clear that Sophia Habib has an extraordinary voice that is superbly complimented by Cloud Orchestra who are no less than excellent throughout.
Watch the full collection of videos from Sophia Habib with Cloud Orchestra, titled “Fragile (live)”:
Talking about these live performances, Sophia Habib said: “To work with an orchestra was a dream I just had to fulfill. I called Anton de Bruin and asked if he wanted to do another collaboration with Cloud Orchestra. And that’s how it started!”
Showcasing her incredible live skills from the very start, Sophia Habib brings power and strength with her neo-soul vocals surrounded by her alternative pop sound that is only emphasised by the incredible orchestra. Her love for classical music makes this the perfect crossover.
Lifeline
Although “Thank You” was initially released first, “Lifeline” starts it all off in the full “Fragile (Live)” video. Solely focusing on Sophia Habib, grabbing the spotlight and making sure that there’s nothing else to take it, this visual is strikingly addicting. We watch as she performs the gorgeous track in front of a plastic sheet, which later reveals Ivo Schols on the keys and Anne Roos Petersen on the guitar, while the Cloud Orchestra are playing behind, all of whom perform the song passionately whilst still keeping the focus on Sophia Habib.
We Can’t Work This Out
Sophia Habib walks in looking absolutely stunning with a royal blue button jacket over a black zipped jacket, with her make-up and hair on-point. The look follows from the previous video, but adds a bit of colour with the blue jacket, keeping it fresh and new, as she blows us away with her vocals. The ambient amber light glows behind only emphasising Sophia Habib even more. Vocally stunning, “We Can’t Work It Out” fully allows Sophia Habib to flood the track with emotion, giving her heart to her voice in this awesome place that personifies everything we hear. Vocally flawless, this singer-songwriter delves into the emotional lyrics about ending it with someone, who clearly doesn’t want to make it work with her.
Thank You
Visually different to the previous two videos, “Thank You” starts with Sophia Habib on the floor, wearing a cute pink, cream, and brown blended jumper, matched with some off-white cargo pants, and a gold chain necklace, with her hair and make-up just as stunning as the previous videos. She’s sitting on top of white ropes that spread out from beneath her. As she gets into the song, she stands up and we see that she’s facing the orchestra, with translucent fabric hanging straight down, around her and the camera circles her as she shows off her incredible vocal runs and gorgeous neo-soul voice. Lyrically, she wants to say thank you to the one person who not only believed in her but gave her love and supported her and gave her courage, whilst also admitting that she overthinks a lot. It’s a brilliant reflection song to end this “Fragile (Live)” video collection.
