Jim Alexander directed the new music video for “Gorgeous.” In a statement, he explained, “I wanted the video to feel timeless and elegant, not tied to any specific aesthetic. What does being gorgeous even mean? To me it might mean a dusty car garage, a stray cat, or hot pink acrylics. Tarkovsky vibes.”
Discussing her new album, in a press release, Isabella Lovestory, stated, “Vanity has a metallic analog vibe: a robotic funeral. Ghost in the Shell mixed with a poppy ultra-feminine sound. Shiny yet rusty, fancy yet trashy, like ancient encrusted diamonds.” She continued, “Thematically, this album explores fragility, how easily a mirror shatters, but it also explores the indestructible and eternal essence of beauty. I don’t mind when things break, I like to collect the pieces and create something new.”
