Connie Lansberg has created a world where jazz meets storytelling, and energy healing finds its voice through music. She’s the creator of Transformational Entertainment™, a genre that’s as intriguing as it sounds.
An accomplished jazz artist, songwriter, and author, Connie’s work is a harmonious blend of wellness and artistry, wrapped up in songs that resonate on multiple levels. And she is one of the most streamed Jazz artists in her home country – Australia.
With a career that spans multiple albums and even a novel, Connie has become a fixture in the Australian jazz scene. Known for her poetic lyrics and elegantly expressive melodies, Connie Lansberg has a knack for capturing the complexities of human emotion in 4-minute musical soliloquies. Today, we delve into the creative process and inspiration behind her latest video, exploring how it adds yet another layer to her already rich tapestry of work.
1. Tell us the story of “Deep End of Love”; why did you choose to visualize it specifically in this way?
“Deep End of Love” with all its gravitas in the music is a little tongue-in-cheek look at the games we play in the name of love and how refreshing it would be to just take the leap without our baggage, our wounds, and our pain. I have a live video of this song, but it seemed too safe. My music is not safe because it isn’t because it is always its own thing and not readily easy to place in a genre. So I searched and found a great lyric video creator and sent him as many images as I could because, at that time, I didn’t know he could draw and I wanted to suggest a certain darkness.
2. What was the inspiration behind this video (visuals, storyline, etc.)?
The song asks the question, do you think it’s possible to give your heart to another fully without fear? So the heroine had to represent the question. I wanted to see her grapple with it and then triumph.
3. What was the process of making this video? (and anything else you want to tell us?)
When I choose another creator to work with I always let them show me what they’ve got first, without too much direction after the initial brief. However, when I realised, most jazz-based songs don’t have lyric videos because of all the improv, and “Deep End of Love” has two improv sections, middle and end of the song, I knew I had to jump in a little more than normal. I pushed this guy to his limit! We crafted the two improv sections and I asked him to draw and then animate this woman and I was thrilled with the results. She has such a strong nobble face, not like the prettiness you see in Western world women. I do have a confession in that I did recut the video to get that impact at the end, but I think I got the very best out of this guy. He’s done a few more for me that are really good too. I love the freedom of lyric videos as well as the fact that for me, the lyrics are so important. Lyrics are my true gift and so many people pay no attention to them. For me, if you don’t listen to my lyrics, you’re missing the point.
Whether she’s penning a novel or crafting a jazz tune, Connie’s belief that we create our own reality shines through. Her songs are not just melodic expressions but also vehicles for energy healing and wellness. As we await her next project, one thing is certain: Connie will continue to challenge, inspire, and transform us, one note and one word at a time.
