With technology and social media degrading our ability to develop real life, interpersonal connections with each other, rising r&b/pop sensation Shenna provides some commentary on the matter with her latest single “Conversation.”
“I wanted this video to have an old school vibe with a present day meaning behind it. I feel that people are so distracted by the media and technology that we are not having real face-to-face conversations anymore because of the many distractions around us. The guy’s point of view in this story has static and is blurred out because he’s actually a TV which is the symbol of someone distracted by technology. ” – Shenna
