A decade after mesmerizing global audiences with the emotive club anthem “Fearing Love” alongside Camille Safiya, acclaimed producer Serge Devant returns with “Solace,” the long-awaited sequel and the debut release on his brand-new imprint, This Moment.
A deeply personal continuation, “Solace” serves as the second chapter in a trilogy of sound, story, and imagery. Reuniting with vocalist Camille Safiya, Devant crafts a progressive house journey layered with understated melancholy and hypnotic grooves. The accompanying music video brings back the same actors from “Fearing Love”—a rare move in electronic music—cementing the connection between past and present in a way never attempted before.
Visually, “Solace” pushes storytelling in dance music to new heights. Shot by Tobias Deml, Director of Photography for Luc Besson, and starring Eric Michael Cole (White Squall, Gia) and Christine Donlon (Entourage, Escape Room), the film continues the narrative first introduced ten years ago. Now living ordinary lives, the estranged lovers cross paths once more in a surreal subway encounter that blurs memory and reality, leaving the viewer to wonder what comes next.
Rounding out the release, Seth Troxler and Nick Morgan deliver a late-night remix that dives deeper into the track’s cinematic roots while igniting pure dancefloor energy.
“This has been in motion for a while now. I’ve been quietly building something – a platform, a label, a brand. Not to chase a trend but to give music the space it deserves. This isn’t a label for hype. It’s a label for time, for quality, for storytelling – through music and film. It’s called ‘This Moment.‘
The first release is a record called ‘Solace’ with Camille Safiya, a continuation of a story that began over a decade ago with our single ‘Fearing Love.’ When we shot the video for ‘Fearing Love,’ it won a film festival – but more importantly, it lit something up in me. I realized how much I loved being involved in the full creative process: casting actors, choosing locations, working with the crew, and shaping the edit. It created a real connection between the music and the visual – a way to stay true to the soul of the track beyond just the sound.
I grew up on MTV and VH1, watching music videos that had weight and substance. These days that feels like a lost art. Building a world around music visually isn’t as common in the industry anymore – and wanting to change that. To bring that experience back in a way that felt real and intentional. With ‘Solace,’ I wanted to continue the story. I reached out to the same actors from ‘Fearing Love’ – ten years later – and they were all in. That was the sign to keep going. We brought back the same crew, and by that time, my Director of Photography – Tobias Deml, had become an established filmmaker – directing an HBO documentary and shooting Luc Besson‘s latest film (‘The Fifth Element,’ ‘The Professional’). With this dream team, I knew we could create something special.
I’m excited to finally share it with you – not just the music but the full video trilogy that brings this story to life. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.” – Serge Devant
