Compelling Crystallize Captures Coastal Character

Vancouver, Canada, September 28, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Building energy behind her award winning single, Crystallize, Norine Braun premieres her new music video showcasing First Nation west coast art styled animation by RUN!RUN!RUN! a motion graphics animation company from Toronto. Directed and designed by Davide Di Saro', this uniquely styled animation is applied graphically using all original hand drawings and then rendered digitally which creates an intriguing kaleidoscope.

Vibrant visuals display a dynamic story of a crow and it’s numinous relation to the singer-songwriter. The animated crows and other spiritual animal totems glide and dance with magical colour and psychedelic patterns captivating the viewer from start to finish. The playful video’s mystical quality reveals the interconnectedness of all things in keeping with the narrative of the song.

Crystallize is included on Norine’s latest multi-genre album Evolution of the Blood Star and is receiving much praise; Braun was chosen from a sea of artists to win the esteemed award Female Singer-Songwriter of The Year in the Jazz category at the LA Music Awards last November (2006). Her song 'Crystallize' boasted the honors; it is optimistic and heartfelt; you will be swept up in the dreamlike nature of Braun's voice, pure to the ear. Sheila Hash, of High Four Records, reacts to the song and says, "From the minute Norine began singing I knew I would love this song. I literally got the urge to break out into song and dance, definitely a voice that could turn around even the worst mood."
