Palma Groove Project - New York City People Swing [Official Music Video]

“New York City People Swing” is the official video for the first release from Palma Groove Project’s new album "II", available worldwide Friday, 30 January 2026. Music composed, performed, and recorded by human musicians. No AI-generated music was used.

The video was created using the Neural Frames AI video generator, and it is shaped through detailed, human-led prompting and art direction, treating AI as a cinematic instrument rather than an automated effect. The result is an evocative, impressionistic portrait of New York City - nostalgic, poetic, and rhythmically alive - capturing the emotional swing of the city across time.

Set to a tight 90 BPM groove, the track features the soulful vocals of New York-born Sheela Gathright, whose expressive voice brings warmth and humanity to a sound that blends classic soul, jazz and funk instrumentation, with vocal harmonies, lo-fi textures, pop sensibility, and dreamlike atmospheres.

The upcoming album II marks the culmination of over a decade of collaboration between Sheela Gathright and London-born writer/musician/producer Orlando Lund, reaffirming the depth, chemistry, and creative vitality of their partnership.

This video will resonate with lovers of NYC, explorers of AI-generated cinema, and listeners seeking real, new, genre-blending music.

Watch with headphones. Let the city swing.
