“Saint
Lucia We Love” Video released
When “Saint
Lucia We Love” was released ahead of Independence
34, the write-up that accompanied the single
from Marley “Mongstar” James predicted
it was destined to become a Saint Lucian anthem.
One year later
and the song continues to grow in popularity;
embraced as it is by all Saint Lucians regardless
of gender, age or location. The release of the
music video on Friday February 22 , 2013 aptly
demonstrated that; garnering close to 10,000
hits in a matter of days.
The video puts
a visual face on locations in the song that
was produced by Saint Lucian Courtney “Curty”
Louis who also co-wrote “Saint Lucia We
Love”. These include the Gros Islet Friday
night street jump up, the community of Marigot,
clubbing in Rodney Bay and scenic Soufriere.
The “Saint Lucia We Love” video
was directed by Ted Sandiford of Acid Kreationz
who was assisted by Kareem Stanley of Meerakulos
Art. He is overwhelmed by the public embrace
of his work.
“I feel
elated when I see the number of positive responses
and feedback on the video,” he says. “It
encourages me to keep developing my craft.”
Sandiford
previously directed the “Hey Scady”
and “Ramen” music videos; both songs
were also released by Dutch Productions/Stratosphere
Music, a Saint Lucian based production house
and label owned and operated by Courtney Louis. |
