Canadian songwriter BAD CHILD — born Isaiah Steinberg in Kitchener, ON — has released a cinematic new video for his Free Trial song "Rouge."
"When I wrote 'Rouge' I really wanted to create a vignette of my experiences surrounding love and loss," Steinberg said of the track in a release. "From romance to family, I wanted it to be a nebulous status of a song that is reminiscent of an airplane terminal or a bus station."
Directed by Clara Milo, the accompanying black-and-white clip was filmed in Iceland with the support of the MVP Project. Steinberg entrusted Milo with the heady visuals, explaining that she "painted a truly wonderful earthly visual masterpiece to accompany the song."
Milo added: "The explosive chorus needed to be burnt into the surreal, a soft-spoken fireball — a volcano releasing love and awe over the dark landscape of its past."
Steinberg's sprawling 19-track opus, Free Trial, takes listeners on a journey through a fictional dating app. It arrived through Universal Music Canada back in February. Learn more about how BAD CHILD became one of the best artists to watch in 2021.
