The strings holding up the sandwich and the croissant falling in love in Harry Nathan’s video for his song “Alright” and the disco ball with the seemingly in camera visual effects could be a dealbreaker for some people like many relationships where superficiality is a main factor. But unless your sense of humor and the absurd is completely broken you have to have a chuckle at video writer and director Odeya Rush’s choice to pixellate the “naughty” bits after the sandwich and the croissant have done the deed and are laying together nakedly in post-coital bliss, the croissant smoking. Is the sandwich a Reuben or a Monte Cristo? Who can say. But the croissant seems solidly chocolate. Whatever the real details the video highlights the single, a wistful and simple synth pop song from Nathan’s latest release, the To the Limit EP. Though relatively short at two minutes forty, “Alright” conveys much about the hopefulness of a new relationship and a little bit of the absurdity of aspects of it as depicted perfectly by Rush.
