“Persuasion,” the single from the AM & Shawn Lee album “Outlines,” offers the kind of synth-meets-soul vibe that can inspire a bit of nostalgia. The tune by the transatlantic collaborators certainly struck a chord with award-winning Romanian director/photographer Dobrivoie Kerpenisan. The director, based in Germany, was editing some of his personal archival footage — shot on Super 8mm over a 20-year period — as a present for his wife when he heard the song. It connected, and he reached out to the band to offer an edit as the music video. “The images show a personal history reflecting intimacy and joy in the moments we live together, which illustrate the generosity and unconditional love which bonds family and friends over time,” the director says.
