MY RUIN Vocalist TAIRRIE B. Releases Official Video For New Hip Hop Single "Beware The Crone"
June 16, 2015, 9 years ago
Released last week to popular and critical acclaim, and available now for free download Bandcamp.com, "Beware The Crone" follows my Ruin vocalist Tairrie on a dark and witchy journey back to her hip hops roots with an old-school West Coast influence.
And now comes the stunning official video, beautifully shot in black and white with bewitching, esoteric visuals. Says Tairrie of her vision for the video: "It's been a while since I recorded a hip hop album, let alone a video with me rapping. Like the songs themselves, I didn't want to mimic what so many other women in music seem to be doing at the moment. I'm not a fan of bright colourful imagery or over-the-top sexuality. I wanted there to be a strong and empowering, yet darkly visceral and magical sensibility to the visuals."
Directed by Tairrie B herself, the mystic maven explains of the filming process: "I shot many of the scenes myself and others were filmed by my good friends Jill and Gary Bandfield of TourBusLive.com - talented husband and wife photographers. They understood where I wanted to go visually so I asked them to collaborate with me in bringing a few songs from my new album, Vintage Curses, to life."
"We shot all the nature scenes in the back woods of Griffith Park which is one of my favourite places to hike in Los Angeles and somewhere I have loved since I was a child. The rest of the video was filmed in Hollywood, in our studio and our home."
"Beware The Crone", is now available for free download via Bandcamp. Check it out via the player below.
Vintage Curses will be released on August 14th. For additional information and updates check out Tairrie's new Facebook page here.
