Lydia Night shares her new song ‘The Hearse’ via Warner Records. The song, from the former frontwoman of Los Angeles band The Regrettes, follows her solo debut ‘Pity Party’ and switches between tenderness and exasperation, cheekily examining the feelings of getting shot down by a crush before you’re able to reject them yourself. Night says about the new single, “I wrote this song after getting my ego hurt in a classic friend-zoning scenario. It’s petty, silly, and a bit hypocritical. I decided to use the hearse as a metaphor in the song because sometimes getting your ego bruised in a romantic scenario can truly feel like death, especially in a situation where you felt like you had all the power going into it just to have the rug swept out from under you. I think it’s a very universal feeling and something that I’ve tried to put into words for a while so writing this song felt extremely therapeutic. I’m hoping it does for listeners as well.” The music video for ‘The Hearse’, which Lydia co-directed with Ramisha Sattar, who created all the visuals for Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and features a car chase with Night behind the wheel of a vintage pink hearse. During the chase Night showcases the range of emotions that reflected her headspace while writing the song. About directing the video, Night says, “I didn’t expect to be so passionate about directing, but it’s so rewarding to express myself through so many different lanes at once,” she says. “I love looking back and knowing that there’s meaning in every single detail, even the little things that no one would ever catch.” ‘The Hearse’ was produced by Alexis Kesselman (a New York City-based producer/songwriter whose credits include Suki Waterhouse and Joji) and came to life at Kesselman’s studio in her Hell’s Kitchen apartment. “I’d never worked with a female producer before, and it was game-changing for me,” Night says, “I felt a level of safety and comfort that allowed me to be about my most authentic self”. https://www.lydianight.com/
