AMARU Wins Three Awards in Accolade Global Film Competition
Amsterdam – Independent recording artist, actor, author and filmmaker AMARU has won THREE prestigious awards from The Accolade Global Film Competition in California, USA. AMARU has won two ‘Awards of Merit’ and one ‘Award of Recognition’. The awards were given for AMARU’s exciting music videos for his songs ‘Tell Me’ and ‘Never’ and for his music documentary ‘For The Record: The Making Of Champagne Attitude’.
‘Tell Me’ is a politically charged pop song about the current state of the world. The arrangements of the song comprises various ethnic instruments such as the Indian sitar and the tabla. The intention was to create a ‘global feel’ for the song, whereas the visuals express clearly the intention of the filmmaker, merging lyrics and visuals seamlessly.
‘Never’ is an honest tribute to all cancer patients alike, but mostly to AMARU’s maternal grandmother, who died of breast cancer in the early eighties.
“On several occasions we had to stop rolling, because things got a little too real”, AMARU recalls.
‘For The Record: The Making Of Champagne Attitude’ chronicles the making of the debut album of the multi-talented entertainer, taking you into the recording studio for a glimpse into the production of his two-time Global Music Awards Gold Medal winning debut album ‘Champagne Attitude’.
