American singer, songwriter, and frontman of indie pop band fun., Nate Ruess, has released the video for Great Big Storm, and the location may look familiar to Montrealers.
“I’ve made a bunch of music videos, but this was one of my favorites. We went to Montreal for the weekend and blocked off a really cool street. It was a beautiful day, so we had to bring the rain ourselves.” Nate wrote on his Facebook page. “Usually the highlights for me in Montreal are the bagels. However this time I’d have to say it was the incredible people involved in making the video. Whether it was the crew, the extras, or the random college kids I shot gunned a beer with on the street- everyone was so friendly and worked so hard to make this awesome video.”
On February 5th this year Fun posted a letter on their official website as a note to their fans on the status of the band. The band wrote that there was no new Fun album in the works, and instead that all three members were pursuing their own projects, including Ruess releasing an album as a solo musician.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Ruess added, “You get a little selfish about the songs that you write, and it’s really hard to do that in a group setting, where there are two other people, and you have to think about everybody else’s feelings. I’m writing and singing these songs about myself. When you work with producers versus bandmates, that line becomes a lot less blurry.”
