070 Shake 'If You're Free' by Bennett Watanabe

Promonews - 23rd Feb 2026

Danielle Balbuena, aka 070 Shake, describes it as "a little thing while we wait for the next thing". In fact, the Bennett Watanabe-directed visual for If You're Free is impeccably realised, offering a new perspective on the artist that complements everything she's done previously.

With lovely cinematography from Emerson Duggan, employing a fine selection of highly photogenic vintage analogue equipment, the depiction of Balbuena's creation of a lo-fi home recording of the track feels authentic, but it's artfully done.
