LA Synth-Pop Surrealist Geneva Jacuzzi Stages a Cosmic Cabaret in Video for “Nu2U”

Los Angeles multimedia artist Geneva Jacuzzi released the video for ‘Nu2U,’ a track from her third album Triple Fire (Dais Records, August 2024). The song dramatizes a seduction between a primordial being and a caveman, with the future of human suffering as implicit subtext. Co-produced with Josh da Costa, the track pairs eerie synths and percussive stomp with a melodic bassline beneath Jacuzzi’s cool, Madonna-inflected vocal. The video, directed and edited by Jacuzzi with cinematography by Shannon Cornett, stages the encounter as a cosmic cabaret: Jacuzzi presides in geometric headdress over performers in metallic body paint and sculptural torso pieces against handmade sets recreating work by artist Steven Arnold. Shifting colour—deep blue to hot pink, red, green—and monochrome close-ups punctuate wider tableaux, creating an effect of intimate theatre despite cosmic subject matter. The production credits indicate substantial collaborative effort across costume, lighting, and design.
