London’s Saint Clair has unveiled the brilliant video for her single ‘I’ll Stay’. The story revolves around Clair having to restrain herself from violent thoughts as she continuously battles being pushed over and mistreated in life, whether it be her boss at her job or just trying to ride the tube. Directed by Jamie Delaney, the video is brilliantly shot with the story line and track constantly keeping you engaged.
Touching on the video, Saint Clair stated:
“I’ll Stay is a cautionary tale; suppress your inner-demons and they may come back to haunt you to devastating effect. We took the story of addiction and created a feminist noir to explore mental health against the backdrop of corporate London. Throughout the video, violence is used as a metaphor to depict the power of irresistible and irrepressible urges. We follow our protagonist as she battles for control in the face of mounting pressure; as we seldom observe or acknowledge female anger and violence, this felt like a powerful way to probe our central character’s struggle.”
