Today, broox brings us into a queer wonderland with the official music video for “She’s Been Listening,” one of the singles from her recent EP, Over Easy.
Created in collaboration with director Sara Ravid, broox’s “She’s Been Listening” music video brings to life a queer re-imagination of childhood. “This music video was thanking my 10 year old self,” broox writes of the heavily nostalgic visual concept. “I got to revisit a queer baby wonderland and relive a time of exploration and fluctuation that is still relevant today. In many ways, the way I expressed myself in the early 2000’s style of clothing, awfully mismatched cargo shorts and graphic tees, have stuck with me throughout the years, having molded it into what truly makes me comfortable in who I am. Looking back at my 10 year old self, she was confident, strong, and didn’t think twice about what people thought. She wore what she want and wore it unapologetically. My 10 year old self’s sense of quirky weird style is a metaphor for my life. She shaped me into who I am today.”
In addition to the new music video, broox is also announcing that her song “Low Key” will be featured in Showtime’s reboot of The L Word, the groundbreaking TV series that saw lesbian love stories take centerstage. A long-time fan of the original series that aired from 2004 to 2009, broox writes that it’s “humbling to not only be recognized for my music but to also be given the opportunity to share it with the world, especially as a queer woman and artist who grew up on The L Word and found solace in it years ago when I was first coming out.” Tune in to The L Word: Generation Q season premiere on December 8th to hear “Low Key.”
broox’s sophomore EP, Over Easy, was released in September and showed an evolution in broox’s artistry since her 2018 debut, Out/Through. Digging into the resonance of emotional melodies, synth-wave sensation, and rhythmic movements, the Brooklyn-based artist makes music to make you feel. Her svelte, soul-baring songs glitter with R&B, indie-pop, and electronica influences in a way that feels fresh and authentic. With lyrics that revolve around her experience as a young, queer woman in 2019, broox pushes the envelope of queer representation in music with each new release.
