Billboard Premieres Olivia Somerlyn's "Parachute" Music Video as the Song Reaches #1
BILLBOARD PREMIERES OLIVIA SOMERLYN’S “PARACHUTE” MUSIC VIDEO AS THE SONG REACHES #1
“Parachute” now available on Billboard.com
Olivia Somerlyn is proud to announce Billboard’s premiere of her new music video “Parachute,” now live on Billboard.com [ HERE
]. “Parachute" was co-written and produced by the multitalented Nick
Jonas after a studio session with Somerlyn that she refers to as
"magic." The song is now in heavy rotation on Sirius XM Hits 1, the
biggest top 40 station in the US, as well as regional radio stations
across the country.
The “Parachute” music video debuted the very same week the remix track reached #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Chart. The stars are aligning for Somerlyn.
"I'm
so happy to release this music video and to share my vision with my
audience. When I write, I always imagine how I would translate the song
into a video, and it is inspiring for me to see Parachute come to life."
“Parachute”
is pure Olivia Somerlyn, from the original concept, which came to her
the night before her studio with Nick, right through to the video’s
color correction process in the editor’s booth. A long-time fashion
enthusiast, Somerlyn even designed and styled her wardrobe for the
video. Her vision came together seamlessly, including the perfect rose
colored parachute.
The
ethereal video finds Somerlyn floating above a softly sun-drenched
desert as she grapples with the age-old issues of love and control.
Performing some harrowing stunt work, Somerlyn floats, flies and of
course shines as the sun begins to set behind her.
The
San Francisco native makes worldwide fan engagement a top priority, and
the rapid growth rate of her pages is a big part of what has the
industry buzzing. With over 71,000 Twitter followers (and a twitter
reach of over 1.5 million), almost 60,000 Facebook friends, more than
36,000 Instagram followers and more than 20 trending Twitter topics to
date, it is easy to see why. Though Olivia’s fans are her #1 priority,
they are by no means the only ones to take notice of the rising star.
Sirius XM Hits 1 has “Parachute” in heavy rotation, J-14 dubbed Olivia
its “You’ll Love” artist and KIIS FM named her its “Next Up Artist."
Other highlights include Extra TV.com featuring the “Better with You”
music video, an MSN feature and TeenNick naming Olivia the “Fresh Artist
of the Month” on TeenNick Top 10.
