Katie Pruitt Shares Moving New Music Video for “Normal”
On her debut album Expectations, Nashville-via-Atlanta singer-songwriter Katie Pruitt opens up about her upbringing and adolescent years, expressing her struggles of being raised in a conservative, religious family as someone who identifies outside of the boundaries and roles set for her as a gay woman.
From the album comes “Normal”, a song that focuses directly on the existential confusion she experienced growing up Catholic. Its candid lyrics and poetic storytelling help shape Pruitt as a songwriter and human, making for a compelling and honest composition.
“Normal was always a concept I fought against,” Pruitt reflects. “I hated dresses, played with action figures instead of Barbies, I even cut my hair short. Kids aren’t afraid to be themselves, which is something we lose sight of as adults. We all feel this pressure to conform when the truth is…there is no mold we need to fit, no script we have to read from, & no such thing as ‘normal.'”
The accompanying music video features clips of Pruitt’s childhood home video footage, providing a glance at the “normalcy” that had been fogged away, as adulthood inches further for Pruitt. Watch it below:
