I had a fan girl moment when I saw Iggy Pop was part of Hotei ’ s song and video . Hotei is no stranger to classic legends having fallen in love with their music early . Now a London native , Hotei is no slouch himself . With his crafty guitar work , Hotei is a master musician . Iggy Pop also co-wrote “ Walking Through The Night ” and handles the vocals , which is the featured video . It Is a well produced song and video . Record Label : Spinefarm / Universal Album : Strangers | Music Video Director : Tomoni Okamura Produced by : Naoyasu Toukaie and Takashi Sugai | Website : www . hotei . com
New York City ’ s Anana Kaye & Iraki Gabriel with “ Ain ’ t Dead Yet .” This creepy video is a horror film noir fan ’ s dream . I am one of them especially when I see Owl representatives on the set . Most of the video is shot in black and white with clips from a variety of classic films . Anana , who originally hails from the Republic of Georgia , is yet another female vocalist with a damn good voice . Her soulful sound is easy to listen to and makes you curious to hear what other styles she can produce . Record Label : Duende Productions Album : Sentient | Music Video Director : Anana Kaye and Iraki Gabriel Website : www . annakaye . com
