Najma Akhtar “Faithless Love“ 1989

Another studio insert into the Here & Now programme from 1989. Always difficult shooting music in a studio with a limited budget ... the set here is just free standing “stock“ pillars and strips of light fabric (fraying at the edges if you look closely) however it gave me an opportunity to choreograph Najma to walk through the set giving it a real sense of movement ... and with clever lighting and lots of “half mixes“ ... creating a rather mystical and atmospheric piece. This song still stands up today if you like easy listening ... and Najma Akhtar has a beguiling charm. Enjoy!! John O’Brien
