Irish artist EFÉ, known for her ethereal sound and captivating visuals, returns with her new single ‘2000SEVEN’ along with a nostalgic music video. This drop follows the exciting announcement of her signing with FADER Label, marking a significant milestone in her rising career.
'2000SEVEN' marks a significant milestone for Dublin-based artist Anita Ikharo, better known as EFÉ, as she releases her new single alongside a vibrant music video. This exciting release follows the announcement of her signing with FADER Label, further cementing her status as a rising star in the music industry.
EFÉ first caught the industry’s attention with her self-released debut EP 'What Should We Do This Summer?', which set off a chain of events leading to widespread acclaim. Building on the success of her 2022 EP 'VITAMIN - C', EFÉ has established a dedicated following with impressive support slots for acts like DIIV, Still Woozy, and JPEGMAFIA, making sure EFÉ is poised to make 2024 her year.
‘2000SEVEN’ reimagines one of EFÉ’s earlier songs, ‘seven,’ with a rock-infused twist and a nostalgic nod to the early 2000s. Reflecting on the track, Anita shares,
“2000SEVEN is a rocky version of one of my first songs, ‘seven.’ This one feels new and could’ve come out in the early 00s, hence the name change. It’s also how my band and I play it live, so it felt right to have a recorded version for people to hear. I wrote it when I was 19, about how you get closer to someone during tough times, and a bad experience can bring people together.”
The accompanying music video, directed by EFÉ and Wiktoria Weintritt, is a nostalgic masterpiece bursting with '90s flair and rich, Japanese film-inspired colour palettes. Featuring EFÉ and her band playing amidst a kaleidoscope of eclectic rooms and characters, all set in a cosy bedroom, the video perfectly complements her ethereal sound.
"The 2000SEVEN video was heavily inspired by Cibo Matto’s live performance on a short-lived cable program in 1996. I loved how cool it was, and the live setting of a bedroom was so awesome and refreshing to me—a recurring theme in my music videos,"
EFÉ's love for the aesthetic of bedrooms and decorated rooms shines through in the video, creating a dreamy, immersive experience for viewers.
With ‘2000SEVEN,’ EFÉ continues to captivate audiences with her unique blend of nostalgic visuals and ethereal sounds, making her a standout artist to watch in 2024.
