Schön! premieres | aish divine “common questions”

Aish Divine is back and stronger than ever with new track “Common Questions” — a satirical take on the hookup culture of online dating told from a queer lens. “Common Questions” is the first single off his upcoming sophomore album, The Sex Issue. “Common Questions” is a first installment that packs a punch and one that Schön! is excited to premiere exclusively. “‘Common Questions’ dives into the subculture of gay internet dating and the desire to find someone beyond just sex,” Aish Divine said about the track in a statement. “‘Common Questions’ was a statement of diversity and inclusion,” director Jessica Batson added. “We really wanted to stay true and represent our LGBTQIPK+ community through our actions and talented cast.”

“We wanted to showcase our pride, joy, and excitement from the queer community,” Batson continues. “In a nod to the style of Camp, our goal was to build a video that is fashionable, quirky, hot and silly all at once. We were ok being outrageous. We utilized a lot of comedy in the piece, as well as the big personalities of the individuals. ‘Common Questions’ was dreamed up as a voguing street dance. We wanted a location that was colorful, disorienting and unusual, and we found all of those things in the Brooklyn Water Treatment Plant. As a stylistic choice, we used the Cooke anamorphic lenses and the VariCam LT. I have a long-standing relationship with color and was thrilled to capture that vibrance.”
