Featuring Western Sydney producer and artist BLESSED, the woozy and tender ‘Sydney Hue’ by Milan Ring is both a nod to the city the two call home, as well as their parallel experiences of disconnection, love and loss.

Mude produced the music video with a desire to put the Sydney city on show, and its distinctive gradient of late afternoon skies. Shot on Atlas Anamorphics and for most part, in a series of long takes – we wanted to make sure that we could compliment Milan and BLESSED’s performance with swirling background visuals, the Sydney CBD and Harbour Bridge.

“It’s such a clear visual to me, what this city looks like at dusk: industrial, a beautiful, polluted glow,” Ring said in a press release. “’Sydney Hue’ is one of those songs that always played out in my head like a movie. Blue hour, when the sun has set yet the remaining light glistens across jagged edges of the high rise buildings. Blurred street lights and peoples faces reflect on my windscreen, as I drive through streets that burst with life yet feel so lonely. I am filled with memories and nostalgia until everything builds and swirls into chaos, cars collide, guitars squeal and we call out to one another – even if only in thought.” – Milan Ring
