I've been following Di'zain for months now, waiting silently in the shadows like a fiend in the night. I was waiting for just this moment when they released their debut single and video so I could strike the iron while at it's hottest with my swift writer's motion -- oh damn I'm still caught up in the Halloween spirit. Didn't mean to get dark on you. While I freshen up and take off these fake vampire fangs (two days later) check out their video for "Play The Game".
(Warning: Video is somewhat NSFW because you can see one lady's bewbs through her dress.)
Di'zain, a play on the word "design", is a British group that can be a bit hard to describe. They are sort of pop and sort of rock, but in a sense so mellow you might not even recognize. The vocals are experimental, and the sound makes use of a lot of ambiance and ambiguity. "Play The Game" in particular is a very non-traditional track, with a core in synth pop that spreads outwards into a form of it's own.
The video is a very artistic piece of work, consisting of various images of people in black in white, including the lead singer, moving slowly to the easy-flowing beat. I'm sure there is some kind of deeper meaning to the video (there has to be, right?) but I unfortunately don't get the connect of the songs topic of accepting the rules of the game called love, and the artsy video to go along with it.
It does look awesome, though. And it has a shirtless dude! (Plus one for the homo crowd!)
If you can't get enough of the single, and are tired of hitting repeat on YouTube, the song is free on their official Facebook Page. You can't beat free!
