that in the end, the house will always win?
i can be the queen queen, and I can be the devil, hid behind the mirror, bending down, till our eyes are on a level..
| „Play“ also ja, spiel den Song, der dir vielleicht den Ruhm bringt, den du doch ohnehin gar nicht willst. Oder? „Play“ ist eine Abhandlung von Kontroversen, aber in einem anderen Kontext. Hier geht es um das leidige Business, mit dem das Kunstschaffen nun einmal verbunden ist – bist du groß, bist bekannt, erreichst du die Leute. „Bow down, kiss the ring“. Schöne und wichtige Grundsätze wie l’art pour l’art haben nicht wenige Leute schon dezent beiseite gerückt, damit das Rampenlicht umso greller brennen darf. Lulu Schmidt hat einen ironischen Umgang mit ihrem eigenen Wunsch nach beidem der großen Bühne UND der großen Kunst.“ ( Lisa Schneider / FM4 Soundpark Weekly ) |
“Based on the lyrics of the song, what we want to represent within the music video is a Trashy Queen that is tired of feeding the industry and at the same time can not escape being part of it, the game of showing yourself as others want to see you, the pressure to satisfy everyone. In the encounter with this dichotomy, this queen wants to be faithful to her own identity, rejecting the vanity of the environment that surrounds her, and in this process she finds herself with her own mirror, an antagonist in the history that seduces and attacks her, At the same time, she loves him and hates him. It is about the monster that she flees from but in the end, the house will always win.” (ADRIANA BERROTERAN, video director).
