Video: Dear Joy - 'Cartoon Song'



Dear Joy is the bright and breezy music project created by the beautiful Thai/Scandinavian singer/songwriter Lou Vilstrup.  Fusing various styles, including acoustic folk/acoustic pop/ and alternative jazz, Dear Joy have created a wonderfully charming five-track EP.

One of the tracks from the EP 'Cartoon Song' comes with a lovely home made video that begins in black and white where Lou Vilstrup makes her way off of the tube and through the London Underground, blows up a balloon, floats up the stairs of the Underground and then her world turns into colour where she spread the joy and happiness around the streets of London! She changes a road crossing message from "Look Right" to "Look Happy" then goes around the streets changing suited business types into fun, carefree, kooks!

Watch out for: A man who accidentally ends up in a dress. Wellington boots walking around a park on their own. The silliest, happiest dance routines. And a little lego man falling into a tin of alphabet spaghetti in particular.

We've never fallen in love with a music video before, until now. So thank you to Lou Vilstrup and all involved for the originality, the creativity and the complete disregard for conformity. We have the hugest smile on our faces and hope the joy is contagious for you guys too!
