The second single from BED’s upcoming album is a captivating declaration of independence.
A track that is bound to seize your attention and ignite conversations. In their daring second single, the talented artists behind BED fearlessly embrace their promiscuity, creating a powerful and unapologetic statement that challenges societal norms. Through a captivating blend of vibrant sound layers and mesmerizing androgynous vocals, the singer proclaims that their past self is a relic of the past.
Entitled “Slut,” this remarkable composition serves as a romantic vow to a partner who harbours fears of emotional pain. It simultaneously draws a line in the sand, establishing boundaries against judgmental words from lovers. Ultimately, “Slut” explores the intricate dance between being seen and wanting to see the other person, taking into account the individual needs of both partners.
Complementing the audacious lyrics, the music video for “Slut” unveils a tragic tale within a winter wonderland. Within this mesmerizing setting, a couple’s passionate embraces morph into volatile arguments, culminating in a heartbreaking breakup. Offering a glimpse into the depths of a toxic relationship, the video becomes a raw cry for help that takes a dramatic turn, leading to a crime of passion. Within the haunting aftermath, the video reveals a wounded and vulnerable poltergeist seeking solace.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic cover art of My Bloody Valentine’s renowned album “Loveless,” the video employs stunning visuals and a vivid colour palette. Through this homage, BED aims to evoke the emotional intensity found within classic works of romanticism, such as Caspar Friedrich’s paintings and the profound emotionality of “Wuthering Heights.”
Starring the talented Hongor Turmunh and Nicolás Astorga, the video for “Slut” is a true artistic depiction of the complexities of modern relationships. Directed by the visionary Nicolás Astorga and brought to life by the skilled cinematography of Camila Rucci and Anna Winslow, this masterpiece is certain to leave a lasting impression.
“Slut” is just a glimpse into the forthcoming album from BED, which promises to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Produced and mixed by the brilliant Pablo Thiermann, and mastered by the gifted Jari Antti, this release showcases BED’s distinctive sound and artistic vision.
