Sabrina Carpenter and Jonas Blue Unveil Music Video for “Alien”

(29 March, 2018 – Toronto, ON) – With their collaboration single, “Alien”, global hit-makers Sabrina Carpenter and multi-platinum-selling UK DJ/producer/songwriter Jonas Blue have unveiled the track’s highly anticipated music video. The official video for “Alien” is available now exclusively on Apple Music and will be available everywhere at 9pm PST tonight. Shot in London, the video - directed by Carly Cussen - mimics the song’s frantic search for reality and understanding within one’s own emotions and relationships.

“I wanted to portray how crazy you can go when you’re trapped inside your own head,” explains Carpenter. “The video is a perfect visual descriptive of what it means to feel ‘alien’ which can be a little dark and desolate, but also thrilling and full of suspension.”

“It was amazing to work with Sabrina and Carly Cussen on this,” says Blue. “To see the essence of the song brought to life in visual form is mind blowing. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”

The track, released March 16 via Hollywood Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, was co-written by Carpenter, Blue and Janee “Jin Jin” Bennett, and produced, arranged, recorded, and mixed by Blue. It is available on all digital platforms HERE. The duo performed the television debut of the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 21, marking both artist’s debut appearances on the show.
