Watch Emily C. Browning's Video For 'I Wasn't Into You Anyway'

Fresh from touring Aotearoa late last year with fellow Ōtautahi songwriter Jack Page, Emily C. Browning recently unveiled her new audio-visual combo 'I Wasn't Into You Anyway', teasing the release of a forthcoming debut album (expected out later this year). Co-directed by Browning and Clowmount, with support from NZ On Air, the crisp and minimal clip for Browning's low key and sassy pop banger puts the songwriter in a literally spicy situation, coping on camera with the effect of biting into red hot chilis provided by SpicyBoys. What starts out elegant and composed gets messy by the end of a video that could easily double as performance art documentation, yet Browning still somehow keeps her cool...

"Everyday for a month I wrote in my journal: I want to write a song about feeling rejected. But I couldn’t figure out how to keep it light and funny, it can be quite a painful topic and I didn’t want to sound too heavy. But I kept working on it everyday and came up with this song.

I then spent another month recording it, trying to capture a sound that stayed upbeat and playful. I put so much time and energy into the song that I ended up completely forgetting about the person who rejected me in the first place (honest, I swear)." - Emily C. Browning.

'I Wasn't Into You Anyway' is out now via major streaming services.
