Love Soup was a high school duo formed by Bic Runga and guitarist Kelly Horgan. After coming third in the Smokefree Rockquest, they were picked up by Trevor Reekie’s Pagan Records. This video is one of the only things Love Soup did, before the duo were overtaken by Runga’s burgeoning solo career. Runga was soon signed by major label Sony, who released some of Love Soup's recordings on her debut solo EP, Drive. Aged just 19, Runga already looks and sounds remarkably assured as she sings about a lost friendship, to a mystical CGI cipher.
