VIDEO PREMIERE: Rita B - 'Travel Companion'

31 August 2021 | 9:16 am | Joe Dolan

"We all got along really well and were great 'Travel Companions'."

NSW folkster Rita B is sharing her brand new video for Travel Companion, premiering the release here exclusively with The Music today.

While the video may be a pretty literal interpretation of the track and its thematic elements, the singer said it's a perfect fit for her tune.

“Maisie Cohen was the brainchild of the project, who quite literally turned a song about road tripping, into a road trip throughout regional NSW," she explained. 

"The destination was Mungo National Park with its unique and arid landscape, visiting many quirky/colonial regional towns along the way, taking advantage of the signature architecture and landscapes there within. 

"It was ironic as I was able to share this journey with Maisie as well as Drew Norley and Ariki Hita, who helped with the video production. We all got along really well and were great Travel Companions. I really wanted to dance the waltz because I thought it complimented the longing feeling in the song and managed to include some scenes of beautiful Kiera dancing with me which added to the dreamlike element of the song. 

"A few of my family members feature in the clip, my sister and her partner are mentioned in the storyline and my niece played the role of my imaginary daughter. Really proud and chuffed that they participated."
