Patrick Doval has spent years building an expansive body of work where music and visual storytelling collide in spectacular fashion. Based in Miami, the songwriter, recording artist, producer and filmmaker has released six albums and more than 25 music videos since 2008, developing a cinematic creative language that stretches from emotion-driven rock to engrossing visual worlds. His work has even crossed into the contemporary art sphere, with music videos showcased at Art Basel and the Wynwood Arts District’s Curator’s Voice Art Projects.
His ability for creating beyond the setting of a song has remained a central pillar of Patrick’s artistic vision. His music combines rock energy with cinematic soundscapes, while his videos expand those songs into visual experiences of their own. It’s an output informed as much by imagination as sound, with comparisons to artists including The Cure, David Bowie, The Smiths and Jeff Buckley providing a taste of the emotional and stylistic areas he occupies.
His creative work has continued to develop since his early releases; his album Obscured arrived in 2016, with lead single “Sugarless Candy” making an impact on US radio, landing at number 164 on the FMQB radio charts and climbed for 14 consecutive weeks, eventually reaching number 27. His visual work has been just as prolific, with his music video for “Crush” premiering on New Noise Magazine.com while his “Lovers” series was exhibited alongside Hollywood photographer Robert Zuckerman during Art Basel 2017.
Now, following a brief hiatus from sharing his studio output, Patrick Doval returns with the brand new single titled “Rocket to The Moon,” serving up a surreal sci-fi love story that takes his creative imagination into outer space. The single marks another chapter in his journey as an independent rock artist and visual storyteller, combining a story of escape, exploration and impossible love with a world that could only exist through the meeting of music and filmmaking.
Continuing their fruitful collaboration, the song features drummer Pete Parada, formerly of The Offspring, who once again propels Patrick’s rock-driven sound. Brought in by soft guitar rhythms and compelling vocal leads, the track develops with the snap of punching drums as Patrick’s expressive voice rings out above with lively melodies. Rolling with driving indie rock energy and instantly memorable melodic leads, the track delivers an enthralling jam packed full of catchy songwriting, slick performance and engaging cosmic imagery.
Cut with intricate lead guitar flourishes and capped by commanding vocal performance, “Rocket to The Moon” sees Patrick Doval deliver an epic rock anthem that’s sure to win over new and existing fans alike. The single is also brought to life in a suitable spacey visual spectacle, with a cinematic music video that sees Patrick become an adventurous astronaut who sets out on a searching space voyage, offering a stellar visual experience that perfectly pairs with the music. After years spent building an extensive catalogue of music and visual work, Patrick Doval has returned with another superb offering and we can’t wait to see what else this new chapter brings.
