"Even in a studio session, 'Torch Song' retain[s] all its wondrously beautiful melancholy." — Maxamillion Polo, OnesToWatch
Four live performance videos from J.S. Ondara's visit to SST Studios in Weehawken, New Jersey, released by Verve ahead of his Grammy-nominated debut album, Tales of America: "American Dream," "Lebanon," "Saying Goodbye," and "Torch Song." We shot all four in a single day, a real accomplishment that came down to a tight crew, with gaffer Dave McCabe also stepping in on camera alongside Riley Nightingale.
