London-based artist Anna B Savage has unveiled the video to her single ‘A Common Tern’. Directed by herself along with Jem Talbot, the black and white visuals feature Anna blindfolded whilst being hit by black paint balls as she struggles to avoid the shots. The imagery is a representative of her escape from a toxic relationship as well as her own demons. The track is taken from Anna B Savage’s forthcoming debut album landing January 29th via City Slang.

Regarding the song, Anna B Savage said:

“When I saw the terns, I was pretty amazed: they really did seem like they were just suspended, dangling on the bottom of a thread. Something about that seeming captivity, being on the end of an invisible line, then breaking free. They were at once familiar and yet so strange and weird. I don’t think I entirely grasped the relevance while I was writing it but now it seems very, very frickin obvious. I spent a year and a half after the tern incident trying to extricate myself from the relationship, bit by bit, section by section. It was fuckin hard work, and I did do a lot of apologising. For me, a common turn means the common moment where you decide you just don’t/ can’t love someone any more, and there’s nothing any of you can do about it.”
