A year after the release of her debut album WITHIN THE CONFINES OF YOU, VALERIE announces a brand new short film, amplifying the project’s artistry and bringing the music’s innate visual story to life.

In an immersive experience, VALERIE recognises the importance of cinematography in art with the short film ‘WITHIN THE CONFINES OF YOU: The Visual Experience’, which complements the sonic superiority of her debut effort. For the release, she collaborated with Colombian filmmaker Nicolás Casanova whose 2017 documentary El Culebro: La historia de mi papá remains one of the most popular features in Colombia.

‘WITHIN THE CONFINES OF YOU’ sees VALERIE push the creative boundaries of contemporary music and film-making. Seamlessly entwining the two art forms together, the visual experience is a dynamic exploration of self-discovery.

Releasing The Visual Experience in the autumn, VALERIE explains, “I was trapped in the places first. The album is simply where I described them using my words and my voice. Now, I get to show you. From the early days, I knew that WITHIN THE CONFINES OF YOU needed to be a visual record. I even wrote out the story of the album for myself in narrative form before recording, kind of like a short story. In doing so, I hoped to keep the soundscapes accountable to my goal of bringing the conflicts, characters, and settings that drive the record to life. These videos have been in the works since the summer of 2023 when I partnered with filmmaker Nicolás Casanova to see the vision through.”
