Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Back in December, prolific musician Roy English, who records under the name Jagwar Twin, released “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)”, a single that went on to accumulate over 100 million streams worldwide and break multiple Billboard Alternative Rock Charts. English has sustained that momentum with a basic lyric visualizer for the song, which, despite its simplicity, earned nearly 11 and a half million views since its upload to YouTube last month.
Today, the Los Angeles, California-based singer-songwriter launches the accompanying music video for the song. The video, directed by Ukranian artist and filmmaker Ganna Bogdan, sees English as the ringleader of his own world, which is none other than the renowned LA Circus in Riverside, the ideal complement to his eccentric and eclectic influence scope. English said of the video’s purpose,
“I aimed to create something that transcends the everyday, a melody that invites introspection and challenges the listener to find depth in the mundane exploring.” He proceeded to comment on how this world reflects his Bowiesque alter-ego, adding,
“The whole world is kind of like the circus where no one really knows what’s up or down, left or right, black or white… so Ganna and I wanted to make sure that symbolism was in the video, especially as Jagwar Twin is all about exploring polarities and where they overlap.”
