Roosevelt, a German singer-songwriter and producer, has carved a niche in the contemporary music industry with his unique blend of electronic-pop tunes. Stepping into the professional stage in 2013, he quickly ascended the echelons of the music scene, earning both critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. His 2016 eponymous debut album set a new bar for electronic pop, interlacing powerhouse synth hooks with heady disco-infused beats. It’s impossible not to discuss Roosevelt without mentioning his hit "Elliot", a slice of sonic delight that encapsulates his genius.
Roosevelt as an artist possesses a distinctive audio-visual aesthetic that translates beautifully into his music videos. His video for "Night Moves", a single taken from his debut album, is a perfect fusion of old-school charm and modern aesthetics, beautifully directed by Jem Talbot. It's an atmospheric video that uses light, color, and movement to create a sense of endless and euphoric nightlife. Another notable video is "Sea", a masterful visual complement to Roosevelt’s dreamy instrumentation. It depicts the singer, who coincidentally has a fear of open water, jubilantly surfing alone on the open sea. The video subtly contrasts the serenity of the sea with the singer's barely concealed fear, giving a hint about his courage and adventurous spirit. It's awfully rare to witness how a great metaphor for overcoming one’s own fears can turn into a visual ecstasy, and Roosevelt made it happen.
