Bishop Briggs is slated to release a new EP titled When Everything Went Dark on June 23rd. The news also coincides with the announcement of her North American co-headline tour with Mister Wives, which kicks off on September 8th in Nashville, TN.
Bishop Briggs has also shared her new single and video ‘Baggage’. Directed by Anastasia Duchess and Kristen Brancaccio, the visuals feature Bishop Briggs emotionally dealing with dealing with the pain from past events that can no longer be concealed.
Regarding the song, Bishop Briggs said:
“I am not perfect. In fact, I’m quite messy. I could say life is messy, which it is, but part of becoming an adult has been acknowledging the messiness that I have too. ‘Baggage’ is the first song where I stand in the mud and triumphantly stomp my feet in it. I can only hope that others feel empowered to own their version of messy and know that they aren’t alone in it. I have found that when I unabashedly show my imperfections and my wounds I am growing. So, there you have it, that’s my baggage.”
Touching on the video Bishop Briggs added:
“I didn’t know how well I could hide my sorrow until I did it. Outwardly I would have fleeting moments of socially acceptable niceties and then the minute I was alone I would dissociate, completely unable to function. How could these two extremities exist in one body? It was and is exhausting. I wanted this music video for ‘Baggage’ to show that our blue circles aka our trauma can be meticulously hidden even if someone appears okay on the outside. I hope that whoever watches knows that they are not alone and that there’s a community of people waiting to be supportive.”
