After sharing the remarkable title song from her new album Weather Alive, Beth Orton is back with the music video for a new single titled “Forever Young.” The nearly six-minute track features Dustin O’Halloran on synthesizer, backing vocals from Grey McMurray, and frequent Orton collaborator Ali Friend on double bass. Check out the Stephen Ellcock and Jonathan Reid-Edwards–directed video below.
Of the “Forever Young” visual, Ellcock said in a statement:
Beth originally had the idea of looking at women as mystics and witchcraft as a form of spiritual connection rather than evil. Running with this, we wanted to make something that took you on a journey both cosmic and macrocosmic, from outer to inner space and back again. A kaleidoscope of archetypal imagery and shifting perspectives seen through a miraculous scrying glass, it subverts stereotypes whilst celebrating the power of intuition and the persistence of hope and magic in a treacherous universe.
Weather Alive is Orton’s follow-up to 2016’s Kidsticks. The new album is out September 23 via Partisan.
