Indie Pop Act half-alive Get Angry On Their New Single “Make Of It”
With their U.S. tour now under way, Long Beach-based indie pop trio half-alive have shared their new single and video “Make Of It”. A collaborative effort, the song was written alongside and produced by OJIVOLTA (Kanye West, Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber, Halsey, Jon Bellion), as well as the video directed by choreographer Emma Portner.
The band’s fourth single of the year, “Make Of It” is a powerful and commanding track that explores a new side of the band.
“As always, there’s so many stories that went into the making of this song”, frontman Josh Taylor shares. “Writing, production, etc. but there was one moment of clarity in the writing process one night that felt like the crux to unlock this very personal story of mine which became ‘Make of It’. That moment happened when our producer Mark (of OJIVOLTA) stared at me during one of our writing sessions & abruptly asked ‘do you ever get mad? If so, would a half•alive fan who doesn’t speak english be able to tell if you were just from your tone?’. After thinking about the question for a while, I came to realize that there was an anger-sized hole missing in our songs. There were stories that I was restricting myself from writing because I wanted them to be perfectly processed, with happy endings to tie everything together. But sometimes the unprocessed, unhindered emotion is what the song needs. When that was realized, I turned on my mental faucet of unfiltered anger, 45 minutes later, the song was done.”
In true half-alive fashion, the music video is an eye-catching choreographed effort, this time blending elements of relationships, therapy, and tap dancing into an entertaining release soundtracked by their electronically dense indie pop.
