It’s now been several weeks since I released my new single, ‘House on Fire,’ accompanied by various different pictures and videos. There was the cover art for the single. . .

. . . the Instagram story content . . .
. . . and the lyric video for the song. . .
I thought that it might be fun to share the behind the scenes of making all of those things so I made a video where I talked about each part. . .
I hope this has been interesting and enjoyable. For a song without a traditional music video, there was quite a lot of video content to make and it was both a series of cool experiences and good fun. I often struggle with the visual aspect of releasing music – I think my brain is just more comfortable working with sound than visual imagery – so to feel so pleased with the result is really satisfying. It makes me feel a little more confident in creating the visuals for whatever comes next.
EDIT: You can now see the bloopers of making this video, where I struggled with all forms of transportation, repeatedly forgot what I was saying, and stuck my tongue out about a million times! Enjoy! (x)
