After the abrupt cancelation of the Robyn and La Bagatelle tour due to Robyn still morning the loss of friend and La Bagatelle band mate singer Christian Falk a video for the single has been released for the house track "Love Is Free."
The official video for ‘Love Is Free’, by Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique comprised of Robyn, Markus Jägerstedt, and the late Christian Falk. The house-influenced, floor-filling hit ‘Love is Free’ also features New York-based, Mad Decent-affiliated Maluca.
Robyn also spode with zine i-D about the concept of the video
Robyn: Well you know how things that feel hyper real also can feel totally disintegrated at the same time? It´s an old idea, maybe as old as our entire consciousness. I wanted to make the video as a trip through a physical space that also felt fluid and loose, because that´s what the song is for me; it´s concrete and at the same time made from an unconscious place. I started talking to Maluca about my ideas and when she came up with the idea of breaking down the fourth wall it all kind of clicked for me. We gathered references and wrote down some of our thoughts and gave them to Cody and just let him associate freely, it wasn´t like we needed to explain much. Cody wrote a treatment that felt really exiting and then he just got to work, tweaking things as we went along. The treatment was super clear, we took out one scene, the airplane, Cody added things that popped up when he found the old (porn) studio in the valley that we shot it in, I pushed for the hand held messy takes at the end and then the editing process was great. George´s timing is fantastic; I think he really enjoyed working with the material. The video was shot in a very linear way, but that gave us a really good base to work from. It was interesting to break it up; I think we were able to add a layer of disorientation that feels good to me when I watch the video.
