‘First Sight’ is the new single and video from Joel Sunny, the soon to be superstar violinist who has been setting the internet alight with his strikingly unique compositions and meticulously crafted visuals. Born in India, raised in Manchester and now based in Sydney, the 23 year old talent has built a vast audience for himself, amassing over 4 million followers across social media in only a couple of years.
Although Joel’s music takes instrumental form, he uses the violin to construct melodies akin to vocal lines, writing with a distinctly pop sensibility, full of decadent drama and cites Lana Del Rey as a key influence. The resulting compositions are irresistible, conjuring up intriguing visual worlds and narratives that demonstrate his cinematic sensibilities - a key element in his creative process. Now collaborating with creative director Cal Mcintyre (The Last Dinner Party), the video for ‘First Sight’ provides a tantalising glimpse at his endless creative scope.
A glorious waltz of a song, ‘First Sight’ tells the story of two lovers, the sun, fate, and the moon and treads an immaculate line between light and dark, perfectly reflected in the visuals. The single is the first of a trilogy of releases, set to be fully revealed in early 2025 and is certain to build on the huge success of Sunny’s viral hit single “Luminary|”, which became a staple of #BookTok, becoming the go-to soundtrack to fan-made visuals for the popular Young Adult novel “A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J. Maas.
