Raw, passionate vocals and emotional lyrics that make you daydream about a simpler life – meet Reino Brink, the new rising pop sensation.
After his previously released singles back in 2021, Reino Brink is back with his new single entitled ‘Dance Till The Sunrise’, accompanied by the official music video. The track was recorded and produced by Howie Combrink at The Hit Lab in Johannesburg.
Reino Brink comments on the track and production process
“I went to studio with a small 40 second demo track I made on my iPad. Howie and I completely changed the instruments, and after a while Howie started playing a guitar riff, and from there we went with the vibe the song was giving. I would like people to describe the song as, ‘having a good time, while being free’. The song title is all about letting go and living in the moment even though things aren’t really working out for you. The inspiration was all about improving on self-confidence. In a way, it’s all about not being scared of yourself as the lyrics go – ‘I don’t want to run away no more…’”
Accompanied, Reino Brink also gifts us the official music video – shot in a random location near Harties, by creative directors, SEVVEN and Howie Combrink, the visuals portray the single in the most pleasant way. With its vintage-inspired settings, a white backdrop and instruments all over, we cannot help but daydream and being exported into an epic 80’s summer.
The visual radiates feelings of nostalgia told through Reino’s modern point of view and seamlessly translates the song’s story and energy to the screen. It serves as the perfect companion to this rising hit.
Reino Brink comments on the music video
“The idea behind the music video is all about how I started music by teaching all the things I know, myself. In the music video, you can see me playing all the instruments. The theme we went for was a total disco 80’s vibe.”
Drawing inspiration from a plethora of musicians and genres such as the iconic 80’s, Don Henley, Erasure, and Sam Fender, Reino’s ability to fuse heavy-hearted pop melodies and deep songwriting continues to set him apart of his peers. Reino has attributed his ability to blend diverse musical influences in part to the various music environments he was exposed to growing up.
Reino explains
“I’ve been listening to Sam Fender a lot lately. His music resonates with me in a big way. I wouldn’t say because of my upbringing, but more about not letting go of the anger and the heartbreak that occurred over the last few years when I was still in school. 2021 was a very emotionally rough year for me”
The track, an instant bop, is a reflection of the singer’s previous struggles and explores the meaning of self-acceptance. You can stream / download the track HERE.
