Brooklyn singer Harrison Lipton’s video for his new single “Synchronized Swimming” unfolds like the love story in the Oscar-winning movie The Shape Of Water, where a sea creature romances an earthly young woman.
The new song succeeds swimmingly, thanks to Lipton’s fabulous falsetto, which is in the same league as Charlie Puth and Great Good Fine Ok’s Jon Sandler.
On the inspiration behind “Synchronized Swimming,” Lipton says: “This song has been in the works for six years. I’ve tried finishing it so many times, but it was going back to the thesis of the song –– the tenderness of two lovers falling in sync with each other –– that helped me figure out how to make the rest of the song feel like that one indelible moment.”
There are plenty of goldfish and minnows in pop music, but only a few Big Fish – and Harrison Lipton now joins that fin-tastic club.
