Toronto Artist STORRY Shares Cinematic New Music Video For “Bow Down”

JUNO Award-nominated artist STORRY released her powerful album CHIII: The Come Up back at the beginning of 2020, and while the long pause may have slowed momentum, the project continues to find a place in the world. STORRY has shared the new music video for focus track “Bow Down”, and has announced a new deluxe edition of CH:III set for January 2023.

Filmed on the shoreline of the White Cliffs of Dover in England, and directed by Karimah Zakia Issa (Scaring Women At Night, TIFF 2022), “Bow Down” embodies the track’s key messages, while drawing energy of surrounding elements and nature. Highlighting the oppressive and misogynistic parallels between the sex industry and the music industry, “Bow Down” serves as an empowering reminder of the available power shift.

“The video chooses to focus on the power of women and reclaiming our true ordinance in the world,” STORRY says. “We praise the sun, earth, air and water. Just like the elements, we are gentle and lifegiving but also formidable. We are nurturing, we are power, we are ‘the maker of all things’.”

On the process, director Karimah Zakia Issa adds: “For Bow Down, STORRY and I wanted to showcase the natural strength of women and the power of community. The focus is on uplifting each other – helping to support someone out of a dark place so they can rise again. The vibe isn’t ‘STORRY is THE king’ but rather that she’s a king among kings. We also wanted to communicate that this power doesn’t have to feel aggressive – just as the ocean and cliffs are powerful so is our natural form. So is gracefulness, so is reflection.”

Through stunning R&B vocals and soulful harmonies, “Bow Down” flows with a natural grace that is equally matched with its accompanying visuals.

In addition, STORRY announces a western Canadian tour in January, joining Tanika Charles on an extensive run across British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. See below for a full list of dates.
