Sean Spada, Holly Overton, Joe Wakeman, and Paige Johnson-Brown Chat About The Making of "Take A Step”
The stars aligned in Brooklyn recently when the foursome of Sean Spada, Holly Overton, Joe Wakeman, and Paige Johnson-Brown pooled their talents to create a stunning video for “Take A Step.” The collaboration originated when Spada and Overton jammed a little bit and wound up nicely blending their musical styles in an intriguing way to create the song.

For a largely DIY affair, it’s a very well done, cinematic music video that nicely brings the song’s themes of separation and finality to life.
