Greek dark pop act Lia Hide launches ‘Proposal’ video / single from new album ‘The Missing Fourth Guest’
The Greek dark pop artist Lia Hide has recently released the first single from the project’s new (4th) album “The Missing Fourth Guest”.
Here’s what Lia Hide says about the song itself: “The ‘Proposal’ is an invitation to a debate, a dispute, a symposium, where the three people involved are discussing the ideas that puzzle them throughout their lives. The lyrics are weaved in a dialogue between me singing and my alter-ego.”
The video for “Proposal” was shot at the historic Bagkeion Hotel at the Omonoia square in Athens, Greece. In the video the band members are investigating elements of the Timeaus (Plato) dialogue, getting ready in their rooms for a later dinner (as it happens “Dinner” is also the title of the next single and the musical sibling of “Proposal”), in the Timeaus Sonata, the conceptual three-part work of the album.
On the forthcoming album, “The Missing Fourth Guest”, the Plato’s Timeaus dialogue discusses among others, Atlantis’ war to ancient Athens, the purpose and properties and elements of the universe, the world-soul, and the nature of the physical world.
