Mike Hallal | Time for a Turnaround | Lyric Video

- Live-action lyric vid for the title track of my new solo album dropping Friday, January 17, 2025. - Hear clips now from all 14 new originals on the album at https://www.mikehallal.com - From the press release on the vid: WORLD IN FOCUS The new album's title track is a stop-time, jazzy blues-rocker that lyrically takes on the world. It names by acronym the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum and the United States as complicit in the plight of "Billions of people / Desperate and lonely" and envisions a social "turnaround" for those hurt by bad leadership and policies. The new live-action lyric video amplifies the song's main message with fresh, international sequences and a blend of quick-cut, modern cinematographic techniques. Produced by a rather private and punky creative artist in Delhi, India, the video features a broad scope of people and places, bringing into focus the tune's worldwide social commentary. VISION FOR TODAY "We wanted the video to capture the needs and hopes just now of everyday people from around the world," Mike says, "what with all the fears of World War III and the widespread poverty and injustice seen in most every nation. The vid was conceived in the USA and brought to life by an artist in India who's also an avowed workers rights advocate. I think he's really enhanced the song's underlying vibe and global reach, in a unique way that can only be done by someone with a non-Western point of view and a sympathetic spirit." - Read the full release (pdf): https://mikehallal.com/files/1323995/time-for-a-turnaround-lyric-vid-press-release-010225.pdf
