Austrian producer filous (a.k.a. Matthias Oldofredi) has a new music video for “Monday,” a jaunty tune featuring American singer-songwriter Ashe (or Ashlyn Willson).
filous began releasing music in 2013 at age sixteen, focusing on remixes posted to Soundcloud and YouTube. Since then, he’s released two EPs: DAWN (2015) and For Love (2017). He also released a remix of Selena Gomez’s song “Same Old Love.” “Monday” is filous’ second track out this year, following “All My Friends Are Rich” with UK vocalist Louis III.
In the visual for “Monday,” filous plays a nerdy guy named “Percy” trying to win a date on an old-fashioned Austrian dating program. He silently, sweetly expresses his love for botany and playing the flute (in a field of sunflowers)—but when he shows up with his guitar, he transforms into a bonafide stud. “I wanna see you on a Monday, if that’s alright” Ashe sings shyly in the background.
Of the video, filious said: “This is my favorite video we ever did for one of my songs. The director Tobias Pichler and I spent months together brainstorming ideas for the song as we really wanted to do something special for it. One day, Tobias sent me the treatment that ended up being the video. I absolutely loved the idea instantly. The only problem was it was four days before a video shoot we already scheduled for a completely different video idea. We ended up deciding to take the risk and go for the new concept, having to do the whole pre-production for the video in only a few days. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such incredibly talented people on this project and I am once more blown away by Tobias Pichler’s dedication and his precise creative vision. Hope you like the video as much as I do!”
Watch filous and Ashe’s “Monday” below. Percy seems like quite the catch.
