‘Beyond the Beat’ Bags Second Season
DEGANZ member Gal Hochman‘s Beyond the Beat, in collaboration with Chillbox Creative, is returning for a second season.
Season one of the factual web series followed five artists as they transformed some of Aotearoa’s biggest hits. In each episode, an emerging artist met with a music legend to turn their most iconic song into something new, reflecting each artist’s unique style. At the end of the season, all the remake songs were released and put to a public vote; the winner would receive a music video for their winning track.
The show gave audiences a unique glimpse into music production and introduced the next wave of musicians. NZ On Air is continuing to support the series by greenlighting five more episodes for season two.
Gal recently wrapped filming the music video for Don’t Worry Bout’ It for local artist Liberty. She was the winner of the public vote from season one for her remake of the original song by Kings. The music video for her winning track is set inside a retro Aotearoa diner and follows Liberty as she goes about her day as a waitress until a chance encounter sparks a vibrant, high-energy musical number.
Congratulations to Gal, Chillbox, and the whole Beyond the Beat team on the exciting news! We look forward to seeing season two and the Don’t Worry Bout’ It music video when they come out.
