Veranda Panda, the dynamic musical fusion of Liam and Jane, is set to captivate audiences once again with their latest release, “Right Here Now.” The single carries a poignant message that encourages listeners to embrace the present moment and find solace amidst life’s chaos.
Jane from Veranda Panda shares her insight into the essence of the song
“This song is about remembering to find yourself in the heart of noise: We often get so easily wrapped up in so many different things that can distract from the present moment; and living in that present moment to the full.”
“This song is a reminder for us, and hopefully for anyone else who hears it, to not be afraid to press pause, embrace where you are in your life- for both the beauty and the chaos- and to be present.”
With Jane’s evocative vocals and celebration of creative feminine energy harmonizing with Liam’s vibrant production, “Right Here Now” promises to transport listeners from the blossoming of spring into a summer filled with love. The track underscores the importance of living in the moment, cherishing every instant, and making the most of life’s unique experiences.
The music video for “Right Here Now” is released alongside the single. The video was filmed on location by Kale Murdock of ‘Murdock Creative’, in Jane Linley-Thomas’s ‘The ReJoyce Collection’ preloved- fashion playground; featuring a cross-section of women who embody and own their unique beautiful brand of colour, strength and freedom.
Styled and brought to vibrancy through the magical eye of Jane Linley-Thomas and her incredible collection, this music video invites us into a magical world of joy and reminds us that we can celebrate and play in the most unlikely of places.
What seemed like a garage was a gateway to a world of love, energy and creativity. We don’t need to delay our happiness; we can all find the magic where we are right here, right now. It’s not what you look at, but rather what you see.
