Synopsis
The "Came To Party" video turns everyday surroundings into impromptu dance floors. A series of people break into energetic solo performances in varied locations, including a bazaar, a beach, and city streets. The editing moves between these disconnected scenes to suggest that partying is less about a specific venue than a state of mind. Tomas Barfod appears only briefly, while the video keeps its focus on ordinary people finding their own rhythm wherever they happen to be.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was released in July 2012, during the promotion of Barfod's solo album "Salton Sea" and the "Came To Party" remix EP.
- The concept treats dance as something that can happen "anywhere, at anytime, and with anyone," including when a person is dancing alone.
- Its locations include a bazaar, a beach, and the street, giving the clip a deliberately broad, location-hopping feel rather than confining the action to a club.
- Barfod makes only a few brief appearances, making the clip feel more like a communal visual response to the track than a conventional artist performance video.
- "Came To Party" was both a track on "Salton Sea" and the title track of a five-song EP featuring remixes by Salva, Suzanne Kraft, and Mark E.
