LA-based bop-maker, Cody Crump has released new single + video “Movie Stars,” just in time for the OSCARs.
Written and recorded by Crump, the song is accompanied by a music video, also made by Crump, that shows — believe it or not — a few of his favorite movie stars, with a special proclivity towards John Travolta.
“Movie Stars” is an homage to the escapism that is so needed (now more than ever) and the absolute legends who lend their talent to the blockbusters, Crump said:
‘Movie Stars” is a song about a few of my favorite Movie Stars. It is a fun and genuine celebration of the films and actors that have shaped our lives – and is not at all sardonic.” He continues, “I wrote the bulk of the song about two years ago – most flowing out in a moment of inspiration. It sat unfinished for about a year and a half before I dove back in and knew how to complete it around Halloween of 2020. As soon as the song was finished, I began working on the video. The idea was always in the back of my mind – but I wasn’t sure that I knew how to complete it, or if it would work – but I never should have had a doubt – because it is brilliant, and it definitely works. I’d also love to say thank you to all of the actors, filmmakers, and everyone involved in the process of making the art that inspired this song – I love you all. Especially John Travolta.
