Song |
"Rapture" is the first single released from iiO's debut album, Poetica, which launched the duo into fame.
Musical Structure & Lyrics
It starts with a synth making some effects until the beat starts. Then the song unfolds, including its catchy chorus.
The song talks about a woman who met a man in a club, and how she is deeply passionate about him. It mixes holy terms with words describing her emotional feelings for him, indicating that her love is so passionate, it is almost a divine experience for her. [citation needed]
Music Video
The video to Rapture features the duo, one of the few electronica videos that does so, since usually Models are hired to appear in the video, and the artists do a cameo. The video develops in a technological city, Nadia Ali is seen in a room full of machines that scan her, and eventually digitalize her, and projects her hologram high above the city, while Markus Moser is seen in a car driving through the city. The 2008 release of Rapture Reconstruction features a limited re-edited video as a multimedia bonus. It does not change the "storyline" of the clip, but includes many different angles and scenes to the original version.
