New Video: Nicklaus Rohrbach Shares Dreamily Cinematic and Nostalgic “Jigsaw”
French composer, producer, arranger, sound engineer and musician Nicklaus Rohrbach has spent the bulk of his career collaborating with an eclectic array of artists including Verlatour, omega violet, Sangue, Shoefti, Jamika and The Argonauts, Kohhen el Kef, Carole Cettolin and a lengthy list of others.
Rohrbach stepped out into the spotlight as an artist with a handful of singles and his debut EP, Selfie. The EP’s latest single “Jigsaw” is a lush and cinematic tune featuring some dramatic, swelling piano, twinkling synths and buzzing synths paired with Rohrbach’s plaintive vocal and a big, euphoric hook and chorus. Sonically, “Jigsaw” reminds me of a synthesis of M83 and A Rush Of Blood To The Head-era Coldplay, with the song being anchored around a similar sense of dreamily wistful nostalgia., and a tinge of hope.
Rohrbach explains that the song is “a synth-wave, progressive pop song, where I’m dealing with multiple selves through space and time.
Designed, directed and edited by Maria Rieger, the accompanying video for “Jigsaw,” captures almost everyday scenes in Paris, seemingly full of possibilities.
