[September 9, 2016] Today, UK producer and DJ, Cadenza releases the video for his new single, “People” ft. Jorja Smith and Dre Island. Pigeons & Planes premiered the video, calling it “powerful.” Click here to watch.

The thought-provoking and nostalgic video sheds light to the chaotic world that we are currently living in. It was shot in London, directed by Georgia Hudson (Ellie Goulding, MØ) and produced by Katie Lambert (Zak Abel, George Ezra).

Of the video Cadenza tells Pigeons & Planes, “Given all the injustice that's been happening across America towards black people, this song, that we had written months before, started to feel increasingly relevant. We kept the additional actors to a minimum in this video. We didn't want to film some mad mob scene, because the point is - it only takes a few people to stand up for what is right."

The track, which originally premiered via Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 as Annie Mac's Hottest Record In The World, has been streamed nearly 255,000 times on Spotify and 156,000 on Apple Music since its release last week. In addition, “People” has had 57 spot plays across Radio 1m, 1xtra, Capital Xtra and Beats  and has over 5,000 tags on Shazam resulting in a debut chart poisiton of #142 on Shazam worldwide and #19 on the Shazam UK Dance chart. The FADER describes the track as an “affecting reggae-sampling pop song led by the husky voice [Jorja Smith,]…then come the jungle breaks, and chaos reigns.” Pigeons and Planes proclaims, “Cadenza keeps impressing…with his collaborations, and ‘People’ is another winner…[he] proves to be the master curator once again.”
