Following their collaboration on the rework of ‘The Way I Am’ in early October, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gavin Haley and rising K-R&B artist SOLE have released a music video to accompany the track.
Unable to travel and film together due to the pandemic, the two artists kept in touch via texts and got creative with the video concept. The video sees Gavin working in a Karaoke bar, picking up a mic and singing alone while cleaning up the place, when all of a sudden, SOLE appears on screen singing along with him hypnotically.
On the collaboration, Gavin shares,
“Working with SOLE was smooth. We got her vocal back and instantly it added to the song. Her voice is so powerful and raw…it feels like she was made for this song. I hope we can connect to even more parts of the world :)”
Says SOLE,
“I loved the song [when I first heard it] and how personal it sounded after learning and understanding the lyrics.It was such a wonderful and fun experience putting my perspective of it in Korean, and I feel grateful to have been given this opportunity to sing with Gavin.”
The original version of “The Way I Am” was released just over a year ago and has racked up over 20 million digital streams.
