Crime is Way Too Sweet in Gin Wigmore's New Video for "Written In The Water"

Soulful, jazzy, and fun as hell.

Do you ever decide to just stop everything you're doing, and just go out on a cool crime spree? It's a pretty fun gig, definitely beats sitting around in a terrible office all day. The one thing you definitely need on your trip of mayhem and escapism is someone who will have your back, no matter what you get into. But when you find the person that has your back, you'll be down to get into any kind of crazy shit. Kind of like what goes down in Gin Wigmore's new video for "Written In The Water."

Gin Wigmore is a singer-songwriter from New Zealand that takes all different genres and puts it into new, exciting contexts. What Wigmore does best in the track is employ the use of big room dancey music without staying a slave to nostalgia ."Written In The Water" propels her music into new places, showing the listener shades of blues, jazz and even electronic music without missing a beat. Not to mention, her voice on the track carries notes and melodies in an incredible and strong way you won't hear anywhere else. Speaking of the track, she says "I love how there is such light and dark in the song with the way it is anchored to the floor with the sub bass and lively drum rhythm, and then almost swims away with it's sweet and whimsical backing vocals that layer the top.”

The video itself is a kind of modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, the kind of adventure fit for a booming track like this. Who better to go on a dope adventure with than her (gentleman) in real life husband, and singer of letlive. Jason Butler? Both of them dance, siphon oil, and count hundreds of dollars they came across. You need to watch the whole thing, because things definitely get a little tricky for the duo. Not to mention, the song probably won't leave your head for a long, long time so you should get a head start.
