Finnish vocal powerhouse ALMA parties with French Montana in her newly released official music video for “Phases” out now! The video director, Charli XCX, also co-wrote the song that has already received over 6 million streams on Spotify alone. Watch the music video below and get the song here via Casablanca Records.
ALMA told The Fader, who premiered the music video, “Charli was the best to work with directing the video. We had the coolest cast and all my best friends are in the video! I was kinda nervous to work with French but he turned out to be so humble. This video is real, fun, weird and 100% me and I’m so excited to put it out!”
Charli XCX added, “ALMA is a total rockstar. Whenever I’ve partied with her it’s been the hardest, most crazy, partying. Whether it’s kicking the DJ off, taking over and crowd surfing a tiny bar in Finland or crashing some fancy LA birthday party and forcing everyone into the Macarena — it’s always a totally wild time! It just made sense to turn the “Phases” video into an ALMA style house party with her, her sister, and some of her best friends, and shoot it all. So that’s basically what we did.”
