David Fourie definitely needs no introduction. He has been making waves in the industry ever since he stepped onto the SA IDOLS stage in 2002 and has had a very successful music career so far.
He has always been a creative soul and his latest single, ON THE RADIO, once again proves that he is not afraid to put his unique stamp on the projects he is working on. This remake of the popular Donna Summer hit, produced by Marius Brouwer and Dirk van Niekerk, uniquely combines elements of soul, disco and pop and will surely appeal to his fans.
“I am a big fan of Donna Summer and soul and disco music and have enjoyed reviving this song,” he explains. “ON THE RADIO is any musician’s dream and brings back childhood memories of me wishing that they would play my songs on the radio.”
A music video of the cover is now also available. It was filmed in Pretoria by Pierre Smith and includes various scenes that were shot in studio and outside.
“The video tells a story of what happens when you hear a song that reminds you of a difficult relationship. As soon as you think you have moved on, you hear something that brings all of those memories back,” shares the musician.
“In the video I am portrayed as a clean-cut singer singing and playing the piano, as well as my scruffy tattooed alter ego,” he reveals. “There is also a scene of a girl dancing on the roof. Just like radio waves, different scenes pulse through the video and symbolises the emotional ups and downs that we all experience at some point in time.”
According to him, the message of the video and song is that music (especially on the radio) is a conductor for the soul because it brings back waves of memories and emotion, good or bad. Read More…
