“Her” is a tune with ambiguous and dark energy. It is a song about deep sinister thoughts and jealousy, about attraction and confusion. Singer Anastasia Vol finds inspiration in old-school sounds, ethnic melodies and sentimental lyrics. Her voice is distinct and recognisable, with a smoky and dewy vocal performance. Visual artist Imogen Mansfield created the Super 8 film, capturing the essence of elemental emotion and loneliness.
The song is pretty difficult, emotionally. I wrote it as a fictional story to romanticise my daily obsessive thoughts, and to make my feelings easier to understand through the words of a lyrical speaker.
Singer Anastasia Vol
The film reflects the dark side of our dreams and imagination. The experience of seeing and believing things that aren’t really there, and the heartbreak that follows when you realise the truth.
