Myrrh shares the video for Redder today, premiering exclusively on The Music.
The track is the debut single for the Brisbane artist (real name James Rhodes) who has previously worked behind the scenes with artists like OKBADLANDS, Azura, Lucinda R, Cloe Terare and Emily Coulson.
"Redder is a bit of a journey. I started writing as I realized I was developing feelings for this girl, and finished the song shortly after she disappeared off the face of the earth," he said of the track.
"She had beautifully bold red hair (not orange, RED). It was all I could think about. I was captivated and the colour sort of became a metaphor for my growing infatuation which morphed into feelings of frustration and abandonment and eventually forgiveness. Everything felt increasingly intense and I wanted the production and the film clip to reflect that.
"The song sat in my voice memos for a couple of years before I bothered to do anything with it, so it was a really nostalgic experience to take it to the studio and rehash all the feelings it was inspired by.
"Filming was so much fun! Seeing my ideas come into existence awoken some sort of deranged director in me. I lost my voice from yelling over the backing track all day. The ocean shots were fun too. I brought a bunch of friends out to help and we had a great time watching back the shots of me getting totally annihilated by waves."
