This is not your ordinary record; in fact, it is not strictly a record. It’s a soundtrack, a meaningful moment in time captured into musical form, an emotional companionship to a compelling and thought-provoking short film. ‘Imagine If Black Boys Just Smiled at Each Other’ exists in the content of the visual art piece of the same name, an All Mixed Up endeavour in collaboration with Channel 4, also the winner of the Best Short Film Award at Boundless Film Festival 2023.
Marcelo Cervone is the talented musician, producer and performer behind the soundtrack, the enlightened visionary in charge of transforming ‘Imagine If Black Boys Just Smiled at Each Other’ into musical form. Based in London, Cervone engages in contemporary electronic landscapes, building an evocative and poignant arrangement that develops slowly, growing in intensity as it goes on.
The result is an unforgettable, hard-hitting piece that works wonders in showcasing Marcelo’s nuanced artistry and his ability to relate a lyrical message in sonic form, all in all, elevating the short film’s pathos and inspiring potential. While checking out Cervone’s compositions, we urge you to also watch the entirety of ‘Imagine If Black Boys Just Smiled at Each Other’ – it’s pretty empowering.
