Partnering with ballet dancers from the Opéra de Paris, avant-garde pop group OHHara debuted the video for “With You” on July 24. The independently-released post-dance track is accompanied by a flashy ballet choreographed by multidisciplinary artist, actor, dancer, and now director Zoe Bleü Arquette. OHHara wrote the following statement describing their new video:

“‘With You’ is a prayer that’s being made and answered. It’s transcendence. The video is inspired by our x11z performance world, which revisits elements of Greek Tragic theater but instead of being trapped by destiny, the heroes transcend and shape it.

“Creating the visuals was literally experiencing magic.  Zoe Bleü Arquette directed and styled. Working with Zoe was the most inspiring collaboration we have ever been part of, along with our last collab with Ron Perlman. We are all dressed in ethereal Ann Demeulemeester creations. The studio was lent to us by legendary fashion icon Paul Steinitz, one of the wildest characters in Paris alive.

“Five days before the shoot, we still didn’t have dancers. Gaetan Vermeulen, who dances for the Paris and Rome Opera, heard the track in a train bathroom. He couldn’t stop dancing and manifested as our Archangel and brought his heavenly host. Gaetan’s inspiration for the choreo was taking the moments of the most intense transcendent abandon in a club and sustaining it. The energy is Duende.

“As we started shooting the second to last shot, lightning started striking around the studio, we just found out that 39,0000 lightning bolts struck across Paris and France in that storm. It mirrored the strobe lights of our shoot. It felt like the Gods were with us.”

The new single follows “L,” an equally maximalist song featuring a music video with actor Ron Perlman. The OHHara duo are preparing to announce new music soon.
