Sydney’s 51st Avenue have created a niche for themselves with a love of electronic pop and heavy rock, and blending them effortlessly together. Last month, they dropped their latest hard-hitting single, “MOMENTS”, and today we are thrilled to be premiering the video for the track.
The track starts with some sweet electronic pop elements, with the vocals Alynnis Zizza teasing and drawing the listener in, before their love of all things heavy kicks in with a vengeance. Alynnis writes: “I’ve been waiting for a track that makes me feel like dancing so when I heard the instrumental of ‘Moments’, I couldn’t help but move. It’s really different to our other tracks so I figured why not lean into that and write about something we haven’t before. It’s also not a very long track at all so naming it ‘Moments’ and writing about a one night stand felt very appropriate and heaps of fun! I’ve also been in my mum era so a step out of that was refreshing.”
Anthony Carollo on bass, has recently joined the band, and helped out on the songwriting process. It was a new endeavor for him, as he explains: “This was my first time being involved in more of a formal writing process with some real intent. It was eye opening to see the process behind the scenes of a band I’ve known and admired for so long, and I loved every moment. We approached the song wanting some real signature 51st pop/rnb vibes in the verse and intros, with a melting chorus. The song evolved and we all agreed that the bridge needed to be climactic and something we haven’t done before, and so our first breakdown was born! When I listen back to the finished song it‘s like the room stops, and I can’t wait for the world to hear what we’ve worked so hard on!”
The end result is excellent. They have combined two seemingly disparate genres effortlessly. Fabulous musicianship is at the core of 51st Avenue.
The video was produced and directed by the band. It has a killer DIY vibe to it, set in a very posh indoor pool, and is beautifully lit. Enjoy!
