Swedish House Mafia have today (July 18) shared a new video for ‘Heaven Takes You Home (Connie’s Lens)’ – check it out below.
The song features a vocal from singer-songwriter Connie Constance, who also directed the song’s accompanying visual.
Speaking about the track, Constance said: “It’s been the most incredible journey working with Swedish House Mafia.
“From creating a beautiful song that is so dear to me, to then directing the video, I cannot be grateful enough for how empowering this process has been. Everyone you will see in this video and even most of the crew has changed my life in some shape or form which feels propitious as this song is currently doing the same.
“I wanted to create a video for SHM that might be shown at a wedding or sadly a funeral. All the best bits, and the best people. It’s not the London eye or the river Thames that makes London. It’s the people that keep the culture so diverse and the energy so dynamic. I hope this video gives an insight to the young dreamers in the city and how together we help each-other pass all limitations and take over the world…. until heaven takes you home and you’ve got the most triumphant story to tell.”
