If life feels a bit much for you lately, give Kleo's new song a try. Angelically comforting, "Beautiful Life" is a stripped-back dreampop wonder. With lyrics like "So lay your head down in the grass / And picture that you’re dreaming / That it’s a beautiful sky, beautiful night tonight," Kleo deliberately invites listeners to disassociate from all wilting things from the past. Musically, "Beautiful Life" feels like a starry night if stars can sing like the smoothest of all synth. Kleo's light and nonchalant vocal gets engulfed by clouds of electronic beats, reminding of a simpler time.
The music video captures just the right kind of feelings from the track. In between doves and olives, Kleo is seen dancing, kissing and embracing in beautiful black and white sceneries. Both close-ups and shadows depicted further emphasize the hope for a serene, "Beautiful Life" through intimacy and letting go. The timeless touch of an analog, antique camera treatment is just a cherry on top. Whether it is the track or the video, Kleo hones in on the idea of simplicity and the intricate tangle between the past and the present.
