With the global success of Singing Melody’s song “Collide”
Shem Music Group has just released the video, adding momentum in market
anticipation for the January 17th, 2012 release of the artists
forthcoming album ‘They Call Me Mr. Melody.’
The video, shot entirely on location in Kingston, Jamaica,
flows with the theme of a couple who is separated due to a mistake made on the
part of the man. That mistake sees his
in jail for some time, causing both he and his girl to reflect on happier times
they experienced together. Singing
Melody is the driving force throughout the video as his character drives the
bus which connects the memories from the past, with the reconciliation of the
future.
While on the set of the video shoot, Singing Melody was
asked why he played the role of the bus driver, and not the male lead to which
he replied “I liked the idea of me driving the bus because of what the bus
represents in the video and to the theme of the song. The bus is just as important as the couple
going through the difficulty!”
The video’s director, Asha McHail, from Far Eye Films,
achieves video and cinematic success as audiences are held to the story displayed
in every second of the video whose run time is 4:17. As for the plot twist at the end, the
director says “we wanted to tease the audience and give them a surprise
ending!”

"Collide is an amazing song that tells a story of a couple who are in love but have problems communicating and that drives them apart but eventually they reunite. Two years ago Fatta came to me to do that song and I ended up doing a demo for it but never completing the project until recently. Initially I didn't want to put a cover song on this album but I have some of the most loyal fans in the business who have stayed with me and supported me over the years and so I decided to give them a gift in the form of a Free single thus Colliding or reuniting with my fans".
