„The video for My Favourite Stranger is a different feel for us – we really wanted a clean, colourful approach rather than the darker, grittier look of most of our other videos,“ erzählt Paul Visser, Sänger und Gitarrist von Black Orchid Empire. „We found a really cool new studio in Brixton under a railway arch and Canty from Dark North did an awesome job once again. We had a great time jumping around to our own song while he worked his magic! This song is about a friend of mine going through relationship hell. It’s about two people that are talking their situation over, but too much ground has opened up between them to even understand each other any more. They know each other inside and out, but have ended up total strangers. Musically it’s super fun to play – Dave’s bass riff is just ridiculous,“ ergänzt Paul.
