Rachel Mason, the renowned performance artist and musician just released a music video for the second single taken from her upcoming album entitled Das Ram, which will be released this month through Cleopatra Records. This new single named "Heart Explodes" follows up the single "Tigers In The Dark", which can be heard over HERE. The full long-play releases on 18th November.
"Heart Explodes" is a metaphor for allowing oneself the freedom to destroy one's old identity and to find a new paradigm from which to dream. "Women are often offered a set of limitations from an early age, and these restrictions determine so much of one's destiny. Yet, there can be great things that arise from limitation, but controlling one's own set of rules, one's own box, one's own destiny is the key", explains Rachel Mason.
Mason wrote and directed the song's video with Aksel Stasny, a cinematographer who shot her recent rock opera feature film The Lives of Hamilton Fish. The character in this new video references Edith Piaf, singing an art song in the blinding light of a single spotlight. The character morphs and eventually corrodes until she is splayed out and dissolves in a pile of flesh as her heart literally explodes. Watch the video in the player below.
