Day One video

Sarah Slean, though busy touring and promoting her new album, at some point in the past few months, neglected to mention that she was producing a second music video for the title track to "Day One."

The music video is a refreshing stray from the cliche twenty-something female vocalist video. It charmingly captures Sarah Slean's artistic nature (through animation by Nelson Chan) both musically and visually.

To view a stream of the video:

Happy Valentines - Sarah on Mix99

Sarah was on the Humble and Fred radio show this morning on the Mix99. They joked about Sarah missing their Christmas show and the early start time today.

Sarah played Day One with Andrew on guitar. That's the new single and the video has recently appeard on MuchMoreMusic. The Mix99 then opened the phones lines to where a person would talk about their valentine and then Sarah would construct a song a song for them. I believe she made 2 or 3 of these songs with Humble and Fred helping her along the way. They were pretty funny and Sarah seemed to be in good a good mood. She concluded that she return to Toronto to play at the Phoenix Concert Hall on April 16th. That's one big venue .

Keep your eyes and ears open. Have a sweet valentines.
