In a visually poetic collaboration, director Adrian Villagomez has brought to life Eddie Benjamin’s soulful single Driving with a striking, blue-hued video, produced by the culture-shaping company Fela. The film showcases Villagomez’s signature atmospheric touch, perfectly mirroring the emotional undercurrents of the track.
Set against a windswept beachscape, the video opens with Eddie Benjamin—the Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his collaboration with Justin Bieber on SWAG—strumming a guitar inside a lonely phone booth. Behind him, a majestic white horse gallops freely, reinforcing the song's themes of longing, distance, and release. The surreal, airy imagery flows in harmony with the song’s lyrical softness, creating a deeply immersive viewer experience.
The video’s cool blue palette, carefully chosen and artfully executed, evokes a dreamlike melancholy that enhances the soul-infused melodies of Driving. The result is a piece that feels both cinematic and personal, echoing the emotional storytelling Eddie Benjamin has become known for.
Adrian Villagomez brings a rich creative background to the project. A former concert violinist and tour photographer, he has made his mark in the music video landscape with a distinctive visual style. His work on Jean-Michel Blais’ Passepied earned him the Best Alternative Video at the UK Music Video Awards, while the Canadian Academy of Cinema honored him with a special recognition for his global impact in music video direction.
With Driving, Villagomez continues to blur the line between sound and image, crafting an emotive visual narrative that lingers long after the screen fades to black.
