Synopsis
Club 8 perform "Stop Taking My Time" as shadowy, graphic silhouettes against a shifting palette of red, magenta, and yellow. Karolina Komstedt appears at the microphone while Johan Angergard plays beside her, with the pair reduced to bold outlines rather than shown in a conventional performance setting. The minimal visual design keeps attention on the song's urgent electro-pop pulse, using stark color contrasts and rhythmic movement to create a stylish, slightly dreamlike atmosphere.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was released in April 2013 as the first official video from Club 8's album "Above the City," which arrived through Labrador Records on May 21, 2013.
- The clip uses an intentionally stripped-down concept: the musicians are presented as silhouettes, while solid blocks of red, magenta, and yellow provide nearly all of the visual environment.
- "Stop Taking My Time" marked a return to a more electronic, dance-oriented sound for Club 8 after the Brazilian and Afro-pop influences associated with their previous album, "The People's Record."
- The song was noted for its basic drum pattern, strobing synth, dark atmosphere, and processed vocal effects. The video mirrors that economical approach by relying on simple shapes, limited colors, and performance imagery rather than a narrative storyline.
- "Above the City" was Club 8's eighth studio album. The Swedish duo consisted of vocalist Karolina Komstedt and multi-instrumentalist Johan Angergard.
