JOESEF has shared a new video for ‘Comedown’, a track lifted from last year’s ‘Does It Make You Feel Good?’ EP.
Inspired by recurring dreams that Joesef was having in lockdown last year, the video manifests a literal interpretation of a break up “I’d been having dreams about crashing and being in an accident” he says, “so I thought it would be cool to offset the gentle nature of the tune with a visual that was a bit graphic” In the video you see Joesef bloody and bruised in the aftermath of the crash; the camera zoomed in on his blank and tired face. It’s unsettling, but portrays viscerally the stillness of defeat that Joesef sings about. “It turned out exactly how I pictured it”, he says.
One of his most personal cuts to date, the emotional track has become a fan favourite since the EP’s release. A delicately stripped back affair, it places all the spotlight on Joesef’s soulful vocals and devastating lyrics as he retreads old feelings. “It’s about admitting defeat in a break up, while remembering the reasons you loved someone in the first place” Joesef says.
