Empire of the Sun, the iconic alternative electro duo made up of Emperor Steele and Lord Littlemore, is ready to conquer the public again with the new single “Changes”. The long-awaited song is a triumphant rebirth after almost eight years since they released their last LP.
“Changes” opens a new chapter for Empire of the Sun, embodying the duo’s unwavering commitment to creating ethereal soundscapes that have a profound impact on audiences. With pulsating beats and infectious melodies, the song heralds a sonic evolution, remaining faithful to Empire of the Sun’s characteristic style.
Emperor Steele and Lord Littlemore continue their musical journey as kingdom builders, not shying away from their indelible talent for creating music with an unmistakable visual aesthetic and narrative.
As Lord Littlemore explains: “‘Changes’ represents the shifting sands of time, empires rise and fall, but the sun will continue to shine. Enter the world we have created once again, dive as deep as possible and you will be rewarded with an ever-expanding story. All people are invited to explore the new era.”
“‘Changes’ was a breakthrough song for us. It was like a moment of clarity when it became clear that we were in a new era, in our time of rebirth, in the next chapter of the Empire”, explains Emperor Steele. The video that accompanies the single, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Michael Maxxis, is an immersive journey through surreal realms. Maxxis, known for his evocative narratives and striking visual aesthetic, collaborated closely with the band to create a story that explores the power of imagination and the quest for self-discovery. Filmed in the stunning landscapes of Thailand, Empire of the Sun and Michael Maxxis invite audiences to embark on a cinematic odyssey that is visually stunning and will captivate and enchant viewers with its otherworldly allure. “Changes” is just the beginning.
