This summer, DJ Laurinda returns to Nexth iTV with the Brand Art Emotion Remix Edition of her legendary XShows, unveiling When Love Fades, a visual and sonic journey through love, loss, and reinvention.
What sets this edition apart is the collaboration with the Princess Laurinda iArt Gallery, where music and emotion are transformed into tangible, inhabitable visual spaces. Together, they craft a universe where heartbreak becomes beautiful, memory becomes tangible, and silence speaks louder than words.
Renowned for her mastery of Pop, Dance Pop, Minimal, and Dark sonic textures, DJ Laurinda has always sculpted emotional experiences. With Princess Laurinda iArt Gallery’s visual storytelling, each XShows episode becomes more than music—it becomes a fully immersive world. From crimson silk in Midnight Waltz to golden light in Happy For You, the gallery’s artistry is inseparable from the sound. In an exclusive interview on Nexth iTV’s The Art of Emotion, Princess Laurinda opened the doors to this intricate creative universe.
Inside the Gallery: Princess Laurinda on Emotional Architecture
OLIVER: Good evening, everyone. Tonight we explore When Love Fades, the sonic and visual masterpiece from DJ Laurinda, brought vividly to life by the Princess Laurinda iArt Gallery. Princess Laurinda, thank you for joining us.
PRINCESS LAURINDA: Oliver, your introductions sparkle—almost dangerously—but I’ll take it.
OLIVER: Let’s start at the beginning. When Love Fades is sixteen episodes long, an emotional journey. Were you aiming to break hearts or to offer catharsis?
PRINCESS LAURINDA: A little of both. This album is an exploration—what happens when love doesn’t die but transforms? Each track is a stage in that transformation: tenderness, loss, reinvention, forgiveness… and glitter. And visuals were always part of that transformation.
OLIVER: How do the visuals interact with the music?
PRINCESS LAURINDA: Music and imagery are inseparable. Each track has a hue, a texture, a space to inhabit. London Boy, for example, is silver-blue and scarlet—a night suspended between glamour and memory. The viewer doesn’t just hear it; they walk into it, live in it. Even loneliness, even heartbreak, can become inhabitable, a love song in space.
Track-by-Track Insights
1. You, Me, Always
Princess Laurinda describes the opening track as an intimate room of quiet reflection. “It came from that space where two people still love each other but can’t say it anymore. Silence can be love’s last act of kindness,” she says. In the gallery visuals, muted pastels and soft shadows echo the tension between connection and absence, making every pause in the music feel like a heartbeat.
2. Blow Your Mind
This track is subtle, sensual, and hypnotic. “Love as vibration—not explosion. The deepest connection doesn’t need words at all,” Laurinda explains. Gallery lighting mirrors the pulse of the music—soft glimmers against dark textures, creating a visual rhythm that mirrors emotional intimacy.
3. One Kiss
Princess Laurinda describes this moonlit track as suspended in a single, perfect moment. “We wanted the visuals to capture time standing still. A single red ribbon in the gallery mirrors the suspended breath of that first kiss.”
4. These Walls
A minimal, emotional track where silence is amplified. “Walls in music become walls in space,” she explains. In the gallery, muted grays and narrow beams of light create a sense of introspection, making the room a mirror of the song’s vulnerability.
5. London Boy
“Playful, nostalgic, romantic,” says Princess Laurinda. The gallery transformed this track into silver-blue and scarlet reflections in rain-soaked streets. “It’s fleeting magic—a spark that feels eternal for one night, captured in neon light and shadow,” she adds.
6. Truly, Madly, Lonely
“This song taught us that even loneliness can be a love song,” Laurinda notes. Golden light spilling into shadowed spaces in the gallery mirrors the devotion and quiet yearning of the music, giving viewers the sensation of inhabiting an unspoken longing.
7. Fading into You
A melancholic synth-heavy track. Princess Laurinda emphasizes the interplay of shadow and light: “The visuals echo the fading melody—soft gradients, gentle darkness, a sense of slipping into memory.”
8. Sunday Morning
Tender and sleepy, the visuals feature warm golden light spilling across empty rooms. “We wanted it to feel like a memory you could walk through,” she says. “Soft, intimate, lingering.”
9. Midnight Waltz
Velvet, candlelight, and whispered movement. “It’s intimacy as dance—two souls moving as one. The gallery’s crimson silk and flickering shadows let viewers inhabit that dance,” Laurinda explains.
10. Let Me Reintroduce Myself
Heartbreak transforms into reinvention. “It’s confidence reborn,” Laurinda says. Gallery visuals—bold, cosmopolitan, and radiant—communicate self-discovery and the reclaiming of space after loss.
11. No One Touches Me Like You Did
Every breath feels sacred. “It’s memory crystallized, celebrating what was real,” she adds. Light and shadow work in tandem to make each moment tangible, almost perfumed, almost touchable.
12. Happy For You
Graceful acceptance captured visually through gold tones and reflective textures. “Moving on can be luminous,” Laurinda says. “We wanted the gallery to feel like walking into a quiet celebration of resilience.”
13. Scared To Be Lonely
Neon-drenched, poignant, and vulnerable. Visuals capture the tension of longing and fear, mirroring the pulsating beat.
14. You Kissed Me Like a Goodbye
Raw emotion made visible—soft edges, blurred light, evocative shadows. “We wanted the moment to linger, to let viewers feel the farewell as deeply as the music does,” she explains.
15. Almost Forever
Dreamlike and suspended in time, the gallery mirrors this through floating, ethereal light forms. “A dream you can inhabit,” Laurinda says.
16. When Love Fades
The finale embodies closure and rebirth. “Love doesn’t vanish; it changes shape but remains luminous,” Laurinda explains. Golden light, reflective surfaces, and subtle movement in the gallery create a sense of farewell, transformation, and memory that lingers long after the last note.
The Magic of the Gallery
Throughout the interview, Princess Laurinda repeatedly emphasizes that the gallery’s role is not to decorate but to create inhabitable emotional space. Every room, every light, every texture is carefully designed to complement the music’s emotional arc. The album and the gallery function in tandem: one cannot exist fully without the other.
This collaboration elevates When Love Fades beyond a typical album—it is a multi-sensory odyssey. Silence becomes audible, light becomes emotional, and memory becomes physical. In the words of Princess Laurinda, “Every track is a room. Every lyric is a heartbeat. Every silence is a place to breathe.”
This August and September, audiences can experience DJ Laurinda XShows on Nexth iTV, accompanied by the transformative, immersive visuals of the Princess Laurinda iArt Gallery. Together, they prove that even when love fades, it leaves a luminous echo—a universe to inhabit, reflect upon, and feel deeply.
