UK pop star Limahl recently dropped his compelling, retro-futurist cover of the 1971 hit, “A Horse With No Name.”
The forever-young artist explained his approach to the track and music video, telling Instinct Magazine:
“With a lyric like that, you have a license to explore, shall we say, and it is almost like one of those crazy dreams you wake up and say, ‘Where did that come from?’ So my video guy, we just threw ideas around, talking about imagery, and this apocalyptic ending.”
Limahl’s confident vocals and production are spot-on, and the mesmerizing music video reads like a digital chronicling of a Native American peyote “Vision Quest” in the desert.
Of course, we all know Limahl from his 1980s hits, “NeverEnding Story,” and the Ultra New Wave hit “Too Shy” with his first band Kajagoogoo.
In 2020, I covered his lush holiday single, “One Wish For Christmas.”
