New music video from Adik Angel

Adik Angel is a prolific composer based in Switzerland who’s been creating compelling music that blends diverse styles ranging from electronic pop to dance and hip hop, lifted by Balkan and oriental rhythms. Originally from Plovdiv in Bulgaria, Adik’s musical journey began at a very young age.

Raised in a musically inclined family, she was exposed to a variety of musical forms, including shows, rehearsals, opera and classical music concerts. This early immersion laid the foundation for her musical career. At the age of 12, Adik won first place in “Swiss Youth Music,” showcasing her prodigious talent on the classical piano.

Her passion for music composition was sparked by the works of Mozart and Bach, leading her to create her own unique melodies and songs. By 14, Adik had developed a keen interest in electronic instruments and the pop and rock culture, forming her first group that performed in concerts and on regional radio. Her formal music education was comprehensive, encompassing Professional Classical Music Piano and Theory at the Conservatory of Music, followed by studies in Contemporary Pop Music.

Since 2010, she’s shared an incredible catalogue of work across multiple singles and full-length records. Now she brings us the perfect taste of her sound with the single “Up So High,” originally released as part of her 2019 album, On The Move.

Given a new lease of life with a fresh music video, “Up So High” serves up an uplifting synth pop sound full of colourful instrumental tones and dashes of pitched vocal samples. Brought in by the warm tones of a lead synth line, delicate guitar plucks and soft percussive pulses are met with the stuttered shots of vocal sample to form a euphoric electronic music experience.

Building up the beat, the track flows through a mesmeric sonic scene as the laid back patter of drums drives the upbeat arrangement to deliver a mellow sound with danceable rhythm. The new music video reflects the sentiments of the composition with Adik armed with her keytar atop a snow-capped mountain, performing the song seemingly from on top of the world cut with breathtaking shots of the awe-inspiring views from the vantage point to deliver a superb visual pairing for the track.
