Victoria+Jean ‘Imbecile’ Video

Rock duo Victoria+Jean are slated to release their forthcoming second album UNDERDOG in spring of this year. The romantic pair have also shared the video for their new single ‘Imbecile’ which will be featured on the forthcoming LP. It features vocals from Romain Humeau. Directed by Sebastien Alouf, the vid follows the couple in their everyday life, doing everything from going to a cafe to performing on stage. The song itself is a slow, steamy and punchy taste of rock & roll that is quite incredible. If this is a taste of what’s to come with UNDERDOG, then we can hardly wait.

Regarding the song, Victoria wrote:

“After the release of the 1st album, we found ourselves covered in debts and lost our home. We were left on our own, and were much disappointed by humans and by some of our close friends reactions. And it’s at those moments you know whom are the friends you can trust on, and those you can’t. ‘Imbecile’ came to us as a result of what are the real faces of some people, just to be truthful and to say “you know I’m not an imbecile I know what you are thinking”. Or just to say – you’re a bloody f***ing imbecile!”

Touching on the video, director Sebastien Alouf said:

“It has been several years since I met Victoria and Jean, and ever since I have episodically followed their adventures, life projects and music. A choice of life authentically rock & roll. I have long been looking for a pretext to return to immerse myself in the intimacy of this couple, tell the reverse side of the scenery, the little strings that bind these 2 hypersensitive, hypercreative and fusional beings. I wanted to make a sensitive fragment of their existence. It is an intimate clip that borders on the romance of this beautiful couple.”
