Self Esteem has shared a video for Moody.
The track features on her upcoming second album, 'Prioritise Pleasure', due for release on October 22. We've also heard the previously shared title track, and cuts How Can I Help You and I Do This All The Time.
The clip, meanwhile, stars actor, writer and stand-up comedian Alistair Green alongside Self Esteem (aka Rebecca Lucy Taylor) and was directed by Louis Bhose. Taylor said:
“I’ve always wanted to make a version of Rihanna’s We Found Love but a more realistic representation of a relationship. Music video tropes are so fun and easy to execute and I’ve spent a lifetime trying to avoid them, but I wondered what happens if I just indulge in them.
"There is nothing more inevitable and sad as the slow demise of passion and enthusiasm for each other in a relationship. I personally avoid it happening these days, the way you become enemies. It’s age old heteronormative bullshit. The ‘ball and chain’ jokes. Fuck that. I wanted to play on that idea, highlight how boring and overdone it is.”
Self Esteem will hit the road for an almost sold-out UK and Ireland tour this November. In 2022, she'll return to the road for the Prioritise Pleasure Tour of the UK in the spring.
