Vanessa Amorosi‘s inspiring official music video for her single “Lift Us Up” is the focal point of her latest full-length studio album; whilst it was released back in November, the message of the album is still relevant as of today. “I’ve stood on stage next to Vanessa Amorosi on several occasions and I’m always immediately taken aback by the intensity and the power of her vocal delivery,” says Dave Stewart from Bay street Records. “In getting to know her as a friend and as a true artist, I’ve found that her vocal capabilities are just the tip of the iceberg.”
The music video for the key single immerses in behind-the-scenes imagery of Vanessa’s creative vision spread throughout the album. Combined with performance-style video clips – featuring the Tennessee Mass Choir live at The Jubilee Church of God in Christ in Memphis – the video showcases a visual homage to the rich heritage of gospel and blues music.
Vanessa – sharing her thoughts – emphasises its lyrical theme: lifting out of darkness and embracing optimism. The album as whole is a showcase of gospel music, hoping to inspire positivity. “The journey of recording Memphis Love is one I’ll never forget,” Vanessa expresses. “A career highlight for me. Collaboratively producing this with Dave Stewart was a dream; inspiring me to explore boundless vocal possibilities, free from any constraints. While laying down these tracks at Memphis Royal Studios with a smile on my face, the unforgettable experience of entering a room filled with the Tennessee Mass Choir left me in sheer awe.”
“From start to finish, I hope you listen and feel the love, energy and soul of the record.” — Vanessa Amorosi
Memphis Love is Vanessa Amorosi’s eighth studio album – her debut on Bay Street Records – diving into the soulful, blues-centric nuances. The ten-track album is a blend of high-energy vocals, punchy brass instrumentation, and captivating melodies, enriched by the riveting gospel textures delivered by the Tennessee Mass Choir.
