Video Premiere: Anna Bergendahl “Fun”
Here’s the premiere of the new video from Sweden’s Anna Bergendahl. Her U.S. debut album Something To Believe In will hit later this summer. Here’s what Anna has to say about the song and video:
I’ve never had so much fun during a writing session as on “Fun.” We cracked up all the time over all the crazy ideas we came up with. The song ended up being a sort of homage to pop-cultural icons, historical legends and literary geniuses. David Batteau, who I and Larry Klein wrote the song with, had done some really detailed research on Sweden and Swedish history for our sessions, so we threw some Strindberg and Hammarskjöld in there too. At the same time though, the song is a declaration of the right to push all the intellectual stuff aside, and simply have fun!
The video is a mixture of some footage from a live gig I did with my band and some private material from my phone. We thought it would be interesting and a little different to make a personal video from things I shot myself!
