The lush Pop-folk trio Sucré are sharing their new live video for their beautifully orchestrated "When We Were Young," first track from her new upcoming debut record which drops April 10th. The video was created by Invisible Children, an organization that aims to stop the longest-running war in Africa, to end the abduction of innocent children forced into fighting and to rebuild schools and provide education and jobs in northern Uganda.Sucré is three piece musical act lead by Stacy Dupree-King from Eisley, her drummer husband Darren King from MUTEMATH and composer Jeremy Larson. Sucré write the kind of pop songs that get lodged into your head even before the very first chorus even kicks in. Stacy's ethereal vocals are quick to catch your attention as they drift atop a swirling mellifluous backdrop. The way Stacy's crystalline vocals float through the lush arrangements is almost dreamlike. She has such a lush-tastic, pretty and poignant voice backed by rich, layers of ethereal instrumentation that you will find yourself wanting to sift through.
From that point on the song opens up, growing in it's own warm surroundings as strings continue to dash across Stacy's melody and make their way in between the perfectly scattered percussion. The feelings of euphoria after an inundation of sugar are quick, fleeting, and often leaving you feeling much worse than prior to consumption. The feelings of euphoria after a listen to Sucré's debut single "When We Were Young" are those of the heart, of purity, innocence and the haphazard joys of youth.
Filmed in the abandoned zoo in Los Angeles' Griffith Park, the video for "When We Were Young" is simple, clean and crisp. As she stands amongst the trees, Stacy is surrounded by a full string section that accompanies her live. While the video provides stunning visuals and Stacy's honeyed vocals are tough to ignore, it's the underlying message that the band is truly aiming to illuminate. This is pop music of the highest order.
