After being shortlisted for this year’s Polaris Music Prize, Canadian singer-songwriter Basia Bulat has shared a brand new video from her latest album Good Advice. ‘Infamous’ has been directed by Derrick Belcham and includes footage from concerts filmed in Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, New York and Montreal. There’s also additional footage that’s been filmed by Bulat herself and Kaveh Nabatian. The clip provides an insight into Bulat’s recent touring experiences.
Bulat herself had this to say about the video and her recent experiences: “This past year has been an unpredictable, thrilling cloudburst of an adventure with hardly a minute to stop and think about what has really happened and all the beautiful places I’ve been lucky enough to see. Somehow, all since February, my songs have taken me to little dive bars in the desert, cabaret rooms, a stage surrounded by mountains, a circus tent shaking from a thunderstorm, Carnegie Hall, rock clubs, summer festival tents full of beautiful people dancing covered in glitter, theatres, folk music halls, churches, art galleries, and a roman cave. I don’t know what that all means except that I am in love with the highs and lows and all the madness that comes along with singing and playing my songs for a living and I take none of it for granted. Thank you for all your love and energy and for making these concerts the special nights that they are. I am so grateful to get to spend my life doing this.” Watch below.
