US 💖

I’m so excited to share my song “Us” with you all! It’s a song I created a few years ago and have been sitting on. It was written and produced by me, co-produced and mixed by Lee Clarke.

One of my dearest and closest friends, Emily Townsend, approached me about creating a video for this song over the summer. She recently released her first short film, A Stop Along The Way, which she wrote and directed (which features one of my songs, as well as music by her amazing husband). If you’ve followed my work, you’ve seen her arresting visuals in the incredible photos she’s taken of me and so many others. She also created the visual for “Leave Me (Like You Found Me)” early on in the pandemic and assisted with visuals for “Your Body.”

It was such a special experience making this video with her and our amazing crew and stunning my co-star, Sigourney Young. The feeling for this visual is very playful and sweet. I shared with her that I’ve been on my own journey of self-discovery with my recent diagnosis of autism and ADHD, and that I’ve been more and more openly expressing my expansive feelings around gender. We played with themes of gender expression, queerness, and enduring love… which were the ingredients that inspired this song from the start. I loved this whole entire process and I hope that you feel it when you see the video and hear the song.
