After “Pluto (Remember You)”, their indie-house collaboration with DJ Clock, Beatenberg is back with a new single off their new album The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg. After making its radio debut earlier this month, ‘Rapheal’ quickly shot up to the #2 spot (and climbing) on South Africa’s National Airplay Chart.
“It was a bit of a toss-up between spelling the title with a ‘ph’ for Raphael the renaissance artist or an ‘f’ for Rafael Nadal the tennis player because both are invoked equally in the pun on ‘stroke of genius’. Although we finally decided on Rafael, who seemed to be the more central character to the song, it’s cool to see that fans are spelling the title as both Rafael and Raphael on Twitter – an elegant outsourced solution to the name dilemma! Look out for the official video coming very soon. And no, I’m sorry, Rafa himself is not in it, but you can see the band try their hand (feet) at some mad dance moves.
We hope that very soon people will be tweeting about The Hanging Gardens of Babylon as well as the correct name of our upcoming album The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg too!”
While we wait for an official video, Beatenberg has shared a lyric video for the song featuring lead singer Matthew Field hitting the tennis court in Cape Town. The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg is due out later this year.
Enjoy!
