Bryde has been someone who we have raved about for quite a while. With her debut album Like An Island forthcoming April 13th on Seahorse Music, she now steps forth with the video for her single ‘To Be Brave’. Filmed in Dungenessa nd directed by Mandy Shannon, the visuals feature Bryde performing the song in front of various locations throughout the city.
In a press statement regarding the video, Bryde wrote:
“I’m low-grade obsessed with Dungeness.
We spent three days moving about and chatting to a handful of residents about their experience of living or growing up in a remarkable landscape such as this and then asked them to feature in the video. There’s a feeling of being a small dot on the horizon here and our aim was to honour the place as much as possible and highlight the striking landmarks and scale of the place while avoiding the clichès that have formed from the lifestyle magazine and fashion shoots that have been there before us.
I also wanted the video to reflect one of it’s subject matters about the way we present our lives via photographs on social media and how edited and selected they are and therefore never an entirely whole picture of reality. Ironically, we got rid of scenes in which I didn’t think I looked particularly attractive.”
