Geelong artist Alice Ivy has shared the final single from her upcoming third studio album Do What Makes You Happy, arriving November 22 via Helix Records.
A collaboration between Ivy and Josh Teskey from the Teskey Brothers, ‘Do I Need To Know What Love Is?’ marries Ivy’s electronic instrumentation with Teskey’s soulful vocals.
Speaking about the song on her Instagram account, Ivy says: “From the moment I first heard Josh’s voice I knew I wanted to write something with him one day and working with Josh was a dream come true. It was a very special time in the studio that I’ll never forget. Excited for you to hear it!”
To coincide with the release of ‘Do I Need To Know What Love Is?’, Ivy shared a music video featuring a bunch of Melbourne’s best rollerskaters. Directed and edited by Dana Munnis, the music video finds the skaters blissfully gliding around a rollerskating rink while Ivy sits in the middle playing keyboards and singing.
“I hope you love the video as much as I do,” Ivy says about the clip. “On a very late Monday night we rented out Caribbean Rollerama and shot a one take video with the most amazing roller skaters! I’ve always wanted to shoot something there and it fits perfectly with this song. It takes a village so I wanna thank all of the legends who made this happen.”
