Gurrumul has released a video for ‘Jesu’, the lead single from his third studio recording, ‘The Gospel Album’.
A song of universal and uplifting praise and meditation, it is based on a single call out ‘Jesu’ and embraces a familiar Gurrumul acoustic guitar feel.
Filmed between Trinity Uniting Church in Melbourne and Galiwinku on Elcho Island, the moving video was shot by Director Stuart van Eysden, with producer Shannon Swan and the team from production company Resolution Media.
Discussing the creation of ‘The Gospel Album’, Gurrumul’s long-time collaborator, Michael Hohnen said, “The process we took for the making of this album was very organic. We worked with Gurrumul for a little pre-production of any Gospel songs that he knew or remembered. We entered the studios not knowing what would come out, but we did know that inside Gurrumul’s mind and memory was a body of work that had never been revealed before to mainstream audiences.
“The studio sessions were musical, improvisational and pure in their exploration of creating music, rather than recording in a predetermined way. Outcomes were unknown until we recorded them.”
