Katy Steele unveils the official music video for her brand new single ‘It Ain’t Me’, the second cut to be lifted off her forthcoming debut solo album ‘Human’. The LP is set to be released in Australia, this Friday October 21.
The track is a commanding and enlivening call-to-arms with its catchy gospel-inspired melodies that soar to the heavens with swirling synths and thunderous drum beats. Steele says of ‘It Ain’t Me’; ‘Writing this song really was a turning point for me in terms of finding the vision and direction for the album. I felt like I had found the right sentiment and it really helped cement the vision for the rest of them. The lyrics really touch on parts of the long road I’ve been on in getting to this point. But I wanted to keep it really uplifting and empowering ‘
The accompanying video which is pieced together from fragments of footage gathered over the last few years of the journey leading into the release of her long-awaited debut, it is a glimpse into Katy’s life in the studio, snippets of her life in NYC, on the road and Katy’s home and hometown in Perth. “Considering how personal this song is, I thought it would be nice to show people a snapshot of parts of my life. The idea of standing in front of a green screen and doing some normal pre-planned lip synced scenario just didn’t sit well with me. I really enjoyed putting this video together as it feels like the real me.”
