Making his return with the track and video ‘STRESSY’ last month, Hanni El Khatib now unveils another vid, this time for the second single titled ‘ALIVE’. What you have here is Hanni dressed up in a Sylvester the Cat costume whilst taking a fall down a very long set of outside steps. While you can pretty much place the metaphorical nature of the visuals to the track itself, we’re just hoping that it only took Hanni one take to do that fall! ‘ALIVE’ is taken from his forthcoming album Flight, which is out May 15th on Innovative Leisure.
Touching on the track itself, Hanni El Khatib stated:
“Last April I was in a pretty serious car accident. Our vehicle was rear ended at high speed leaving the car crumpled up and flipped over. Miraculously we were all able to have come out relatively unscathed with only a few minor injuries. It was definitely a close call. Even the paramedics and police officers on site were in shock that we were all standing there given the severity of the crash. The whole experience gave me some some much needed perspective on life. I knew I wanted to touch on that somehow on this record. When the instrumental came together for the track it immediately felt like the perfect backdrop for this story.”
