Artik & Asti member musicians Artem Kacher and Sevilla unveiled their collaboration clip for the duet track One of two. In a conversation with socialbites.ca, the duo explained that the video tackles a universally relatable theme — love and parting, from the butterflies of new affection to the ache of goodbye.
The creators set out to illustrate the various chapters of a relationship within the visuals. They described their approach as an effort to keep the narrative accessible, ensuring that viewers could see parts of their own stories reflected in the narrative. The production was shot on a VHS camera, a choice that adds a nostalgic grain to the storytelling. For Artem, those are among the most precious childhood memories—playing back moments on old tapes without the gloss of high-end productions. Through this aesthetic, the two performers crafted their characters and let sincerity guide the performances, sharing intimate moments that color the arc of two people in love.
Artem Kacher noted that the concept for the piece had lingered for years, but finding the right partner to sing the duet proved challenging for a long time. The collaboration with Sevilla came about quite by chance during a studio session when they were together recording material. He invited Sevilla to sing along, and it became clear that the pairing was exactly what he needed. Regarding the video direction, the plan wasn’t to deliver flashy, big-budget spectacle. Instead, the emphasis was on an honest, relatable love story presented in a mood-driven video rather than a conventional clip with a dramatic plot. The artists wanted the audience to connect on a personal level, to feel seen in their own experiences of love and loss. They believed that many viewers would recognize something of themselves in the performance.
Earlier reports confirmed that Artem Kacher had become a father for the first time, a personal milestone that intersects with the emotional themes explored in this release. This life event adds another layer to the interpretation of the duet, underscoring how real-life moments can influence artistic expression and the choices made in a music video. The project as a whole reflects a blend of candid storytelling and a shared, intimate artistry that many fans have come to expect from Artik & Asti’s circle.
