Acclaimed singer-songwriter Bea Miller has released the official video for “hallelujah” today from her new EP, elated! out now.
Directed by Gina Gizella Manning, the video is a raw and intimate accompaniment to the dark-pop track that finds Miller spilling her opinions about the Trump administration and her personal life as she sings, “How am I supposed to work on myself / When there are Nazis in a big White House / Seems ridiculous to live in hell /But I guess that’s what we’re doing now / Maybe I should see a therapist but the apocalypse is probably gonna take us out”
Miller battles her own anger about the political tumult while still trying to make the world a better place, ultimately resigning herself to the fact that maybe it doesn’t matter because widespread disaster feels imminent and unstoppable.
Miller released elated! last month and Idolator heralded it as her “best release to date.” The seven-song project includes “wisdom teeth,” the “synth-heavy bop showcasing Miller’s captivating raspy vocals and youthful energy” (DuJour) which has amassed over 3.7 million streams.
Also featured on the new EP is “FEEL SOMETHING DIFFERENT,” with critically acclaimed rapper Aminé, an up-tempo hypnotic new take on Miller’s viral hit “feel something.” “FEEL SOMETHING DIFFERENT” has been featured on some of the top playlists including Spotify’s New Music Friday in over 21 countries and Apple Music’s “New Music Daily” and “A-List Pop.
