The group released the Belinda Carlisle cover in September
Rising Los Angeles band The Scarlet Opera releases a colorful and kitschy music video for their recent cover of Belinda Carlisle’s 1987 classic “Heaven Is A Place On Earth.”
The video was directed by Alexa Cha and edited by Justin Moon.
“The goal was simple, to have a very good time,” frontman Luka Bazulka shares about the clip’s inspiration. “I think at first we tossed around the idea of having a little glass menagerie of the boys for me to break in this elaborate set, but the budget permitted us puppets and a green screen instead—and thank goodness.”
The Scarlet Opera began covering “Heaven Is A Place On Earth” during their headline tour this summer, and it quickly became a fan favorite throughout their live set. Belinda Carlisle caught wind of their rendition and lent her stamp of approval. The single’s original producer and co-writer Rick Nowels also joined forces with the band to produce their 2024 take on the ’80s hit.
It lands in the wake of their recent Mirror, Mirror EP out now with millions of streams. Not to mention, they recently wrapped their headlining Catch Me If You Can Tour.
Last year, the band released their empowering single “That Kind Of Woman” and beloved debut Comedy EP, which features breakout songs “The Place To Be,” “Big City Thing,” “Alive,” and “Riot.”
