The video for the album title track, Preservation, was directed by Nadia and produced by Julian Vares (Kane Strang, Doprah, Aldous Harding, Fazerdaze).
Nadia says about the video, “We shot this film over two days on the streets I grew up on in Port Chalmers, Dunedin, New Zealand. The dancer, Bebe, I met in a record shop in Dunedin and instantly wanted her to be in the film. Her grace, and self-assuredness was astounding and for me, it fit perfectly. Bebe, and Lisa Wilkinson, who choreographed the dance completely nailed it.
“Preservation is the title & first song on my second record. There’s an intensity to it, but I actually find it quite beautiful in so many ways. It was cleansing to write. It is about loss, reflection and the future. For some reason, during the release of the album, I struggled to fully understand it’s meaning, there’s this sort of unconscious state I often need to enter with songwriting, where meanings tend to become clearer and more obvious to me, months, or, years later…
So here we are, I am so grateful to NZ On Air Music & Dunedin City Council for funding this film & to everyone who currently works with and alongside me. Enjoy.”
