I'm so happy to have Janet LaBelle on the blog again! This time, we're taking a look at her intimate, stripped-down video for her song "I Only See You."
Filmed live in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, Janet sits atop the mountain -- beautiful scenery in the background -- as she croons a bittersweet song of love and loss that we can all relate to. The raw emotion put forth in this song and video can't be ignored. That's not to say that Janet can't rock and roll like the best of them (she can, I've seen it). But for now, Janet is taking a step back and letting her ukelele and voice do the work. And that's enough for me!
In my opinion, everyone can use a little throwback style of music in this modern world of genres upon sub-genres, and Janet has got that covered. Her retro style is refreshing and thoughtful, and truly a cut above the rest. If you're itching for more, be sure to pick up Janet's album, Blossom & Blue!
