‘Seduce’ | Russ
Multi-platinum artist Russ—accompanied by Capella Grey and Tamae—performs an ode to seduction while encircled by an alluring array of synchronized swimmers.
SEDUCE is a cinematic exploration of passion, pleasure, and power. After an introduction on dry land by Capella Grey, a world-class aquatic dance troupe surrounds Russ as he stands on a platform in the middle of an endless pool. Amidst the psychedelic flash of ruby and chartreuse lights, bodies pulsate below the surface. Their balletic movement flows with the sensual beat of the music, forming complex shapes and leaping through the air. Part abstract display of dance and liquid, part midnight celebration, the video for SEDUCE takes viewers on a one-of-kind journey.
