Holly Munro drops a stylistic DIY gem with the video for her new single Glow Up. The song is an intriguing stylistic blend that bridges the auras of Big Thief and St Vincent effectively. The video effectively captures the singers magnetic aura, pairing costumery and personality, its Munro herself that enhances the effect of the props. It arrives in full with the videos closing section, featuring the artist dancing convincingly. It honors the complicated emotional narrative and enhances the emotional release of the moment. It teases your curiosity regarding what it took to get here. Is her struggle like your own? It’s that ability to connect that can make art rise to importance. In that way it initiates Holly Munro as a star, one whose complex musical genius you can see yourself in.
Expand your imagination with Liquid Pearl, the exciting new video for the single from alt pop pioneer Delilah Holliday. Medieval sword fights between presumed time travelers should be the first detail to peak your interest. Heavy doses of stylistic Trainspotting era cinematography suit the frantic circumstances of this complicated chase, one involving multiple characters and primary two central warriors. It’s not Delilah herself but more her nemesis who gets a backstory treatment in form of finale flashes, the kind of visions some believe you see before you take your last breaths. It’s the final mind boggling detail to tie this video together, adding to its pilot style nature. This could be a tease for a more expansive project, and it definitely honors the complex energy of the music. Liquid Pearl as a song connects with releases by Tirzah and Georgia, we find the vibes to be both abstract and epic. See and hear for yourself.
Skye Wallace embraces her enigma in the video for her new single Tough Kid. Like any simple and elegant idea the execution doesn’t come easy. The mechanics of the fades within this isolated shot really enhance the effect of the experience. That experience specifically being staring into Wallace’s tortured soul, one that seems to find little joy in the routine trivialities of bar culture. Or perhaps more appropriately she’s staring into yours, as her aura rings with a creepy omnipresence, one that honors the violent aggressive nature of this indie rock anthem. Like the voice inside your head its as if she’s taking to you telepathically from some other area of our world, one where she easily blends in and an ideal setting for a pretty girl like her to attract easy victims.
