Arlo Parks – Eugene (Music Video)
British singer-songwriter Arlo Parks made the most of 2019. The young artist released her debut single “Cola”, and debut EP Sophie at just 18 years old, and was also featured on a number of big ticket outlets such as NME, The Fader, and Vice (among many others).
Her new single “Eugene” continues her streak of releasing intoxicating and intimate lo-fi music, showcasing her soft, yet lush vocals and nu-R&B style. Written about the experience of being in love with your best friend, “Euguene” is an intimate and heartfelt song: “it explores the agony, jealousy and confusion that comes to light when the lines between platonic and romantic love blur”, writes Parks.
The accompanying music video, directed by The Coyle-Larner Brothers, Ben and Ryan, gives an overhead perspective on the pains of struggling to find the barrier between friendship and romance.
