Sigrid takes on the space-time continuum in&nbsp;Femke Huurdeman's dazzling video for It Gets Dark.Sigrid is in a very playful version of outer space, incorporating gorgeous, retro-influenced costumes, ingenious set design, and projections and other in-camera effects, in a consciously studio-based set-up. She connects with her surroundings in numerous ways - and in numerous outfits: sitting on top of worlds; exploring alien environments; observing speeding stars from her space rocket cabin, and then growing&nbsp;Alice-style in relation to her room.&nbsp;It's the second collaboration between the Norwegian pop star and Huurdeman, following the acclaimed video for Mirror last year, and with that experience behind her the Dutch director&nbsp;really plays to Sigrid's&nbsp;strengths as a performer on camera.The wonderful art direction&nbsp;(by Laura Santos) and wardrobe&nbsp;(by Ahida Agirre)&nbsp;come with the unmistakeable&nbsp;imprimateur of CANADA, Huurdeman's production company home. The attention to detail is marvellous, which contributes to this being an irresistable showcase for Sigrid and a very cool song.This is a triumph that's really a credit to&nbsp;everyone involved. The&nbsp;perfect way to herald&nbsp;Sigrid's upcoming second album - and the video that shows what&nbsp;Femke Huurdeman is really capable of.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3][imgtoken data:4]

Sigrid 'It Gets Dark' by Femke Huurdeman

Sigrid - It Gets Dark

Femke Huurdeman depicts Sudan Archives - aka&nbsp;Brittney Parks - as a fiery vampire queen in her transcendent vision for Limitless.&nbsp;With a spotlight trained on her fangs and a deep blue light pulsating&nbsp;against the backdrop, the opening shot is a haunting preamble that sets the tone for what's to come. Across several&nbsp;setups, Parks explores our obsession with material things, stating "What happened to your dreams? I just wanna go back to times when money didn't make".&nbsp;This perspective on how we change as people when our fortunes improve is represented through surreal, wistful performance setups and conceptual choreography.&nbsp;Dominique Aizpurua's art direction across the visual is understated yet incredibly relevant- stripped back props and unique backdrops allow Parks to focus on her message and performance, and the lack of clutter is in parallel to the hard-hitting lyrics.&nbsp;Limitless is a rare example of a song and visual that transcends its&nbsp;time period and physical location, offering a universal appeal and relatable emotional experience to viewers and listeners.“It’s about opposite elements and how, as a person, you can feel torn between multiple feelings," says Femke Huurdeman. "It’s not choosing one over the other, but it’s about embracing we all have different layers, and once you know that, you can accept those complexities.”&nbsp;&nbsp;
