[Devault](https://www.instagram.com/devaultmusic/), the fearless electronic artist has released new single and visual accompaniment in anticipation of his upcoming EP _Sapphire_. With this single, Devault crosses the boundaries of electronica, and delivers a piece that is as haunting as it is exhilarating. The visuals for his music video “Sapphire” bring to life the all-encompassing realm that is the digital world. It examines the image of a human through the many mediums we use, emphasizing both the real and the digital. What one experiences physically versus what one experiences through the removed space of the computer is a central theme in this video. He offsets the heart-pounding central beat with a cheerful melody on top that repeats throughout the song. It is a piece that—when listened to—makes us excited, and—when viewed—combines the excitement with a more ponderous look at the work. “Sapphire” is a thrilling new installment in what will eventually be a fully-formed EP, _Sapphire_.
“_I wanted to create something that pays homage to the music that got me so excited about electronic music in the first place_,” he states, “_the new wave sounds of the 80’s, the French Touch, and the rave music of the 90’s all influenced this record_.” - DEVAULT
