2021 Eurovision contestant and ARIA Award-winning art-pop songwriter Montaigne has released the official music video for her single, ‘Technicolour’.
The video comes ahead of her performance of the uplifting anthem as part of the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest, to be held in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, which is broadcast exclusively on SBS in Australia from 19 to 23 May.
Directed by Courtney Brooks, the video is an explosion of colour and dance that perfectly complements the hyper pop banger.
Montaigne said: “This was the quickest and easiest music video shoot I have ever been a part of, and yet it’s not suffered for it. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Courtney and the team absolutely hauled ass and fully understood the vibe I was trying to encapsulate and I think it’s come off to great effect. One of my favourite things I’ve done to date.”
Written and produced specifically for Eurovision, ‘Technicolour’ is a new song highlighting Montaigne’s vocal prowess, with upbeat pop stylings and a catchy anthemic feel. Montaigne co-wrote the song alongside Sydney-based songwriter and producer, Dave Hammer (Lime Cordiale, Thundamentals).
