RHYE is releasing a new music video today for track “Phoenix,” the second single off their latest, critically-acclaimed album BLOOD, recently released via Loma Vista Recordings / Caroline Australia. Directed and produced by RHYE frontman Mike Milosh and Geneviève Medow Jenkins, the stunning fashion-forward film tells a powerful narrative with symbolic visuals centered around change and rebirth.
“’Phoenix’ is a song about rebirth,” says Milosh. “The video for ‘Phoenix’ is a representation of the storms that are needed to instigate that change, renouncing the mundane. Enough change best leads to communion with the natural world and the natural self. Change is a strong woman who comes into your life and shows you your true self. Hence, change is Phoenix.”

The “Phoenix” video tells a powerful story through shattering the everyday, materialistic lifestyle and transforming into ones true self, mirroring Milosh’s private and professional life, brought on by a powerful symbol of a female character that enters like a storm alongside thoughtful allusions.
The video also features a cast of beautiful, impeccably-dressed female characters in fashion designs by OTT, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Thomas Wylde, Alexis Bittar, Armani, Yvonne Kone, Christian Siriano, Versace (vintage), Ann Demeulemeester, Pamela Love, Alice McCall and Agent Provocateur, styled by and starring model Anna Schilling.

PRAISE FOR ‘BLOOD’
“These dudes are no foreigners to funk and by no means are they strangers to soul but damn, Count To Five might just be the nicest fusion of the two that I’ve heard… Friday’s are best spent listening to track’s like this” – I Oh You
“an emblem of what Milosh is capable of – magnetic vocals, unshakable melodies, arrangements that are both delicate and robust – it’s a triumph” – ★★★★ NME
“The live feel of the album, with the collision of traditional orchestration and silky synths, gives BLOOD a more human feel. It’s intense in its subtlety, not wanting to be overshadowed by bombastic production” – Line of Best Fit
“MELTING MOMENT RIGHT NOW … can you feel the heat in here? the sweat of my tears, it’s so lovely” – Linda Marigliano, triple j
