Tamtam Premieres ‘Rise’ Music Video
The captivating music video for Rise was written and directed by Saudi-born, LA-based writer, actor and director Meshaal Al jaser, who translated this moody meditation about rising above the haters attempting to thwart her musical aspirations into an exploration of arranged marriages shot in the desert north of Los Angeles. Watch it below!
Speaking about the video Al jaser said,
I know people might see it as aggressive, but it's a metaphor. It's not like this is happening to one or two women, this happens all the time to many women.
Tamtam added,
I want to start a conversation and, sometimes, if you don't shock people they just won't pay attention.
Rise follows her previous single Drive which celebrates women’s liberation and gender equality.
