SoulStone – “Now that your love has gone” – the story behind the music video

We asked Shaun “Soulo” Parsons, member of the sensational R&B supergroup, SoulStone what went into the making of their latest music video “Now that your love has gone” and we discovered there’s so much more to it than meets the eye. This track is destined to be a classic. Check the music video and then read all about it…

Shaun “Soulo” Parsons:

While playing the piano one Winter evening I came up with the melody. I couldn’t help but start writing to it influenced largely by a previous relationship. I then completed the rest of the instrumentation. At 3am, I officially entitled her “Now That Your Love Has Gone”.

The next day I approached Clint and Kenton with it. They seemed to likeas much as I did so needless to say, we immediately completed the restof the Lyrics and added the bells and whistle’s, not to mention vocalsand Kenton’s soul stirring guitar.

The rest, as they say, is history! and the dawning of a number one single and music video.

For the video we opted for a film noire look. Illustrating the erosion of a love lost. It was shot at 3 locations within Johannesburg and in Cape Town. We often get asked who the girl in the video is and why she is not prominent. Well the idea was to create not only an air of mystery but also to keep it generic. Hence she could be any guy who happens to feel the same way’s, girl.

SoulStone intend to:

• Re-awaken the realm of possibility within the music field in South Africa.
• Illustrate to the international world that we as South Africans are on par if not beyond, when it comes to Production, Composition, Arrangement, and Performance.
• Dispel any negativity around the quality of music originating from this country.
• Above all, Open the door for the multitude of talented individuals within our communities out there and provide a platform for them to shine!
• SoulStone is: Shaun Parsons, Clint Brink & Kenton Windvogel.
• The debut album is entitled “MusicLoveTruth” and is available at all good Music stores.
