Kaeto’s Sultry and Urgent Synth Pop Single “No Body” is an Entrancing Mantra of Personal Liberation

Paula Romy’s video treatment for Kaeto’s sultry and urgent synth pop track “No Body” gives it a feel like if Flashdance took place in some grimy, underground Berlin industrial music venue that took over an abandoned parking structure. That this place likely doesn’t exist in reality gives the video a sense of being futuristic with the aesthetics of cyberpunk without the glitz. The fantastically driving and pulsing yet fluid bass line alongside Kaeto’s introspective and exploratory vocals in a song that seems to have something to say about the nature of personal liberation creates an immediately compelling dynamic and finely paired with the choreographed moves and dancers frolicking amid hazy lights and the shadows of a place that in addition to the aforementioned is reminiscent of a techno club that could be in Germany, London or Detroit. It lends a widely accessible spirit to the song. Fans of The Knife will appreciate the sense of mystery Kaeto establishes with the moods and rhythms that interlock and release throughout. Watch the video for “No Body” on YouTube and follow Kaeto on Instagram.
