Canadian alt-pop legends Delerium has premiered a new music video for their first single in four years, titled "Dust In Gravity," on 'Much On Demand.' last week. The single is co-written by Stef Lang and features Canadian R&B/Pop Recording artist Kreesha Turner on vocals, who was recently nominated for this year for two Juno Awards ('New Artist of the Year' and 'Pop Album of the Year'), brings an R&B vibe to this electro-pop tune. The single was out November 24 on iTunes.Both the original track and a remix of "Dust In Gravity" by Niels Van Gogh, will appear on Delerium's forthcoming full-length original compilation "The Definitive Collection," which is set to release on March 2, 2010 from the duo, Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber over the years. The Canadian worldbeat band from Vancouver have gone on to sell over a million albums in North America alone since in 1987, including the worldwide dance smash hit "Silence."
Delerium are also best known for their supposed revamping of that Sarah McLachlan track. But, this is a far cry from that not in a bad way, but just in a completely different direction. This has great remix potential and we are glad they didn't pick a run-of-the-mill vocalist. Turner has a very unique voice and it fits well. She cites R&B acts like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and D'Angelo, hip-hop acts including A Tribe Called Quest, Andre 3000 and Common and rock acts like the Foo Fighters and Our Lady Peace as her inspirations.
The video was shot in Hamilton, Ontario, is set against a decaying urban landscape, in which its residents discover there's more to what they see around them. It showcases the group's penchant for combining ambient electronic elements and dance pop beats. The addition of Turner's vocals adds a contemporary R&B flavor to classic Delerium.
