New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today we are pleased to join forces with BG.FM for the premiere of his new music video for his latest single "Cruel Nasty World," the video sees the singer-songwriter showing his skills as he sings his way out and performs every instrument and the minimalistic setting gets much interesting through the use of some interesting animation.
About the song, Blake comments "2020 was exceptionally hard for everyone, me included. Faced with existential shock of my life-style and income ceasing to exist in 1 day, I found myself in a dark and confusing world. In 2020 America and the World seemed to be crumbling and it was all very overwhelming, the only solace I could find was in creating once again..for myself. I dug my feet in, learned a few new instruments, taught myself how to record a demo, and created an album that was a safe space for me to crawl inside and escape. Escapism was exactly the goal when making Cruel Nasty World. The song is not a denial, but an acknowledgement of a bleak and heavy world, it's 4ish minutes to get lost inside and shed that weight. For 4 minutes the Cruel Nasty World can't touch me."
When it comes to the he adds " When we were filming the Music Video for Cruel Nasty World the main goal for me was to let loose and celebrate. I wanted to raise all of the negativity in my life against a wall, step back and take a good look, then shake free from it. Pain and hardship is real, but I deserve to heal and turn my back to it. I'm healed by the light in this video, the childlike idealism of it, the warmth of the ones who made it with me.. I hope anyone who watches will be as well."
