Lande Hekt has released a video for her latest single Whiskey, taken from her forthcoming debut solo album Going To Hell.
“This song is essentially about how there were so many things that didn’t feel right in my life,” Hekt explains of the single. “It’s about learning how to come to terms with being gay or, more accurately, realising that pretending you’re not gay can’t go on forever.”
The music video for Whiskey is an intimate yet cinematic portrayal of Hekt’s current relationship with her girlfriend, filmed by her longtime friend and visual collaborator Martyna Wisniewska.
“We shot this video with Martin (Gingerdope) over two days at the end of the summer,” Hekt adds. “The idea was to encapsulate the love between me and my girlfriend Lucy and, aligning with the sentiment of the song, I wanted to show how much happier I am now that I’ve come out as gay. Martin had the idea to film us frolicking in a meadow and we ended up having such a wholesome time walking through fields and woods, picking blackberries and having picnics.”
Going To Hell is due for release on 22nd January 2021 via Queer-run independent record label Get Better Records, available to pre-order HERE.
