The Lavender Haze video is out now. There is lots of lavender. There is lots of haze. There is my incredible costar Laith Ashley who I absolutely adored working with. This was the first video I wrote out of the 3 that have been released, and this one really helped me conceptualize the world and mood of Midnights, like a sultry sleepless 70’s fever dream. Hope you like it 😁

September — days spent lounging around on a sun-warm bed while reading, dripping-sweet plums, honey-scented soap, not yet cold evenings when bats dance through the purple sky, Anaïs Nin, sweet dark wine, the lush-sweet scent of a freshly opened box of chocolates, old Vivienne Westwood fashion shows, picking up opulent fragrances again, cotton on bare skin, the last golden days dripping by like honey.
