<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The track, a haunting ballad, is set to film by Juno-nominated Canadian director
<b>Michael Maxxis, </b>a MuchMusic “Director of the Year” whose elegant camerawork and somber, mesmerizing style is the perfect complement to Gnecco’s expressive vocals and graceful delivery. The video perfectly captures the song’s mood; it’s dark and uplifting
at the same time, as are many of Gnecco’s songs. <i> </i></span><o:p></o:p></p>

</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">is a graceful and at times almost hymn-like collection of songs as well as a deeply personal album for Gnecco, who plays every instrument heard on the album – guitar, bass, keyboards,
and drums and incidental sounds. On tracks such as “Mystery” and “Take A Chance,” his undeniable talent as a singer, songwriter, and musician is dazzling. But it’s his exceptional and soulful voice - its color and range - that takes center stage on this hauntingly
beautiful album.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
