ODEN & FATZO RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR HIT SINGLE “LAUREN”

French live trio, Oden & Fatzo release the music video for their hit single “Lauren” via B1 Recordings/SME Germany/RCA Records. The music video is created by Kinopravda and sees the band members visiting a Flat Earth convention, kidnapping some devotees in a bid to show them the truth, only to reveal a stranger reality at the ends of the earth.

Kinopravda, which translates to “film truth,” is a powerhouse directing collective, blending epic art direction with impeccable wit and visual flair. Originally a group of art school buddies and industry competitors in Barcelona, they decided to band together under the shared philosophy of hard work, attention to every detail, extraordinary production design and above all, collaboration. They have since grown to include eight directors based in Budapest, Barcelona, New York and Los Angeles. Their music video reel is here: https://vimeo.com/showcase/allmusicvideos

Unlike the name might suggest, Oden & Fatzo consists of three people: The Parisian underground collective are a powerful fusion of the electronic live duo Oden, and house DJ Fatzo.  Back in 2020 a bootleg version of “Lauren” was uploaded to the YouTube channel of the electronic label Novaj, kicking off an unforeseeable wave of enthusiasm. That video is now approaching 3 million views. Enthralled listeners begged for a commercial release.

The track came about when Fatzo’s dad wanted to know the difference between an edit and a remix, as the DJ explains: “… To show him, I took a song from a band my ex-girlfriend listened to (Men I Trust) and sped it up and added a drum beat and violin. After playing it to Oden, they loved it, and in turn, added their secret ingredients.” 

With its captivating beat and nostalgic catchiness, “Lauren” by Oden & Fatzo makes up for all the party nights lost to the pandemic lockdowns, and sees people dancing in their homes and on the streets, as concerts, parties, and live sets are finally celebrating a slow return. As the trio puts it: “This song was all about hope, freedom and a party atmosphere at a time when you couldn’t go anywhere. We think it gave everyone who heard it a little bit of an escape, including us.”
