A classic performance piece showcasing heartfelt, stripped-back blues, filmed in luminous black and white.
“I Need to Learn is a simple song with a clear message. It’s stripped-back blues featuring emotive vocals and electric guitar, so I wanted a video that was stripped-back too. I went for a classic black and white performance piece that showcases the lyrics and musicianship on the track … The concept behind this video was ultimately about dropping the bells and whistles of a large scale production and believing in the song and performance enough to give them space to breathe.” – Aminah Hughes in Musical Notes Global.
