The Sound Poets: New Song & Music Video – Dzejnieks un mūza

The Sound Poets Announce New Single and Grand Concert in Riga

Latvian band The Sound Poets have released their new single, “Dzejnieks un mūza” (“Poet and Muse”), a precursor to their upcoming studio album slated for release this spring. The band will celebrate the album launch and their new musical direction with a grand concert on August 29th at the Mežaparka Green Theatre in Riga.

A Deeply Personal and Latvian-Inspired Song

Jānis Aišpurs, the vocalist and main songwriter of The Sound Poets, describes the single as their “most powerful musical adventure to date.” He feels the song contains a deeply rooted Latvian essence, evoking the strength of folk songs, paganism, and a sense of collective prayer. Aišpurs emphasizes that while the song is intensely personal, it likewise resonates with a larger, shared experience.

The music video for “Dzejnieks un mūza” features actor Mārtiņš Meiers and was directed by Elizabete Gricmane. Gricmane shared her perspective on the video’s theme, stating that people often seek love and fulfillment externally, but true happiness begins with self-love and embracing the present moment.
