Jurgen Engler (Die Krupps) remixes Jeordie single and video, ‘Sunset Strip’ – Available now
Jurgen Engler (Die Krupps) remixes Jeordie single and video, 'Sunset Strip'
Following her last single, a cover of “Tainted Love” (Grace Jones, Soft Cell), Arizona-based singer-songwriter Jeordie today releases “Sunset Strip”. Jurgen Engler (Die Krupps) stepped in to remix the track. You can check the song and its video below.
The video was shot on Sunset Strip itself and was produced by Holly West who adds: “This song embodies a strong California essence, with its lyrics and the varied vocal and instrumental effects creating a whimsical journey that evokes a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. I typically do not feature live actors in my lyric videos, [but] the clarity of my vision upon hearing the song was undeniable. I reached out to a friend whom I knew would resonate with this feeling, and coincidentally, I was with another friend who was perfectly attired for the concept. I explained the vibe I envisioned, and they danced along the strip while I followed them with the camera. The entire shoot was brief, lasting around ten minutes. The true magic occurred during the editing process; by slowing down the footage to evoke a sense of nostalgia, I believe we perfectly captured the intended vibe. I’m very happy how this video turned out!”
Jeordie is the daughter of the late Woodstock icon Melanie Safkais. She is currently working towards a new album for release by Cleopatra during 2025. She will also be heard on the upcoming children’s album “Lullabies From Heaven”, recorded with her mother and siblings.
Below is the previous video for her cover of “Tainted Love”.
