Pop music is often built on personas–stage names, alternate identities, faces hidden behind hair, helmets, makeup or masks. Sometimes, the artist’s mission is to hide his or her true self behind a haze of mystery. That’s not the case with ADAM COLA who’s gearing up for the release of his debut album FLESH.BLOOD.LOVE this spring. With album track “Be Free” out today (February 9), the Montreal-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and entertainer promotes his mantra of being free and uninhibited, of being proud and embracing your true self.

Connecting the lyrics with a visual component is the “Be Free” video, created by fellow Canadian visual artist Natalie Cusson of Scooter Film & Design. Taking COLA’s party lyrics into throwback mode, Cusson utilized vintage analog computer animation system Scanimate which was used to produce much of the video-based animation seen on TV in the 1970s & 80s for commercials and show openings and utilized by French pop duo, Daft Punk.
