BUZZ

The seed for my video began germinating when I was almost 7 months pregnant. I was an insomniac those last few months. One night, around 3am, I saw the entire video in my mind.

I had to film all the dance sequences before I was due! So in a span of 3 weeks, I found a location, a choroegrapher, did a casting call and called my video muse Steve Heuer. It was insanity. And we only had one day to shoot the dance sequence.

I give it up to these pregnant women who had such a physically rigorous day and kept working, take after take, under hot lights and time pressure. Making this video was one of the most challenging and enjoyable things I've ever done. I hope you enjoy it.

Here's a list of the amazing people who made this video happen:

REVIEWS!

Pop artist Michele Moreno adds ethnic flair to her AAA flavored waters on 'Plastic Garden.' Armed with tight songwriting and stirring vocals, Moreno’s is a fitting montage of world music, pop, AAA, and adult contemporary styles. She can give a thanks to artists like David Byrne, Beck, and Kate Bush for that eclectic influence. Her vocals haunt well after the last song rings out.

-- J-Sin, Smother Magazine

Michele provides a luxuriance to her musical interpretations that leave the listener wanting more and more. Exquisite and emotive vocals create a splendid debut. Plastic Garden is just the start of a great future on some very fertile ground.
