Blanks releases debut EP 'cheap sodas and ice cream kisses', led by 'Favorite Nightmare'

YouTuber turned singer-songwriter Blanks has released his brand new music video for his latest single ‘Favourite Nightmare’ which is taken from his debut EP ‘cheap sodas and ice cream kisses’.

The music video opens with the camera panning downwards to reveal a gorgeous shining 1973 red Mercedes-Benz 450 SL (Registration 06-YA-60) as he sings “Ice cream kisses baby, we’re in your dad’s Mercedes, the radio is playing Eighties songs” as both him and his video girlfriend portrayed by Tessa de Boysére are bathed in the sunset as they drive along.

The electronic pop beat consisting of lush synths and rhythmic drums is a real toe-tapper and reminds this scribe of Howard Jones at times in terms of the song’s structure. The lead vocal seems very radio-friendly as he croons the chorus in sync with the dream sequence flashback meets Bill Murray’s ‘Groundhog Day’ concept which is executed impeccably by director Johan Verhoeven who worked alongside a full cast and creative team.

A highlight in this audio/visual treat is the choreographed dance routine that coincides with the catchy chorus as Blanks dances with Fleur van der Heijden, Tim Postuma, Devany Geraldinio Pinas and Kim Tamse to create a fun atmosphere in and amongst the awakening with fear and night sweats to check on his beloved white electric Fender guitar. 

To summarise, Blanks has created a summer pop hit with ‘Favourite Nightmare’ as it makes you think of long sunny days, spending time with your friends and just generally trying to stay positive during times of relationship difficulties.  In terms of the video itself, it seems that both the cast and creative team were able to work well together as a team to create an entertaining bit of cinematography. The only real question you have to ask yourself is – How long do you think you can go with pressing the replay button?

‘Favourite Nightmare’ is out now and taken from Blanks’ debut EP ‘‘cheap sodas and ice cream kisses’. In addition, Blanks will perform a headline show on Tuesday 11th May 2021 at Colours Hoxton, London, United Kingdom. Tickets are priced at £16.50 each and are available now at www.ticketweb.uk/event/blanks-colours-hoxton-tickets/10101365?pl=colours
