Astrid S Tackles A (Fuc)Boi In Her New Emvee

Norwegian rising popstar, Astrid S, has released a music video for her latest single and it's like a blast of neon city we've seen recently in Nerve, Riverdale, and Troye Sivan's 'Youth'.

'Such A Boy', another moody electro-pop released by the singer (see 'Breathe', 'Bloodstream', and many more) tackles gender stereotypes in such a sarcastic and stylish way, I love the whole thing.

"You say you wanna break, so we break up / You tell me stay, so we make up / And then we make out, you freak out / Here we go again," the singer laments in the bridge.

The video, on the other hand, is cool AF. It's neon lit and shows another side of relationship that we usually see in TVs and movies. "I wanted the video to portray a relationship the opposite way to how it’s usually portrayed in movies and music videos. Girls are portrayed as the weak and emotional ones - so in a subtle way, I wanted to turn the tables and make the boy the insecure one.” Astrid told The Fader.
