The Pretty Reckless Drops New Music Video for “25”
American rock band The Pretty Reckless dropped a new music video for “25” on December 18th.
The song was released as the second single from their upcoming fourth studio album “Death by Rock and Roll” last month, following the album title track.
It was written by Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips. Produced by Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips and Jonathan Wyman.
“25 is an interesting song that came from a lot of different places,” frontwoman Taylor Momsen said of the song. “It was the first song we recorded for the record in early 2019. I had just turned 25 when we wrote it. In a way, it's an autobiography and hopefully shows that this album really ventures out into new territory with the music.”
The video was directed by Jon J, who filmed in New York. Taylor Momsen told PAPER Magazine, “I have a love affair with New York, and I really wanted New York to be represented in this. So, it's a woman on a rooftop waiting for her lover, which is New York. New York is a very big character in this video to me, which was very important, where it shows the glamor of New York, but also the pain and the suffering that New York is, and what being a New Yorker is. Because it's my favorite place in the world because it has everything: It has the juxtaposition of the glamour and the pain and the suffering. I think anyone who lives there or anyone who's even visited can understand that, especially with the hard times that we've all been living in, everyone is suffering the same battle. New York City has always been a place that I feel like I can hide, and I can fully be myself. There's no place like it in the rest of the world, and it was very important to me that New York City was the lover of this video.”
The new album is set to be on February 12, 2021. It is their first LP in five years.- source : PAPER Magazine
