Summary
Talk Art Season 7 continues!! For episode 6, Russell and Robert meet the creative power couple of singer/songwriter DENAI MOORE & film director NADIRA AMRANI!!!!
Denai's new album 'Modern Dread', with sleeve art by Nadira, is Talk Art's FAVOURITE album of 2020!!!
We discuss the influence of art on both of their creative disciplines and their favourite contemporary artists including Joy Yamusangie, Isaac Julien, Sarah Lucas, Elmgreen & Dragset and the architect Zaha Hadid. We explore colour theory, the importance of silence and how art galleries help us to slow down, their passion for decorating their Margate home with bright contrasting colours, their admiration for film makers such as Iggy London, and the artworks Denai's father made and introduced her to during her childhood in Jamaica. We learn about the influence of Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' 1980 movie on Denai's music videos for Modern Dread as well as a blue room installation by the artist Adrián Villar Rojas, as well as Sci Fi and a dystopian modern aesthetic that runs throughout her album campaign.
Plus we learn about Denai's forthcoming live concert film, shot & directed by Nadira at Carl Freedman Gallery, Margate. Their inspiring new film will be available to stream via Denai Moore's YouTube channel from the end of October 2020, and will include exclusive live performances of recent standout singles 'Cascades' and 'To The Brink'.
Denai Moore is a British-Jamaican artist and singer. Her most recent album Modern Dread was released in July 2020. Moore's musical style is a mix of soul, folk, electronic, and other styles, and she has said she takes influence from Paramore, Lauryn Hill, Kanye West and Bon Iver. She refers to her own music as "genre free".
