Watch Vera Ellen's Video For New Single 'Homewrecker'

Nominated for Best Alternative Artist at this year's Aotearoa Music Awards, Vera Ellen has shared her first new release since 2021's Flying Nun solo album It's Your Birthday. 'Homewrecker' plays with the idealised fantasy of sparking chaos in perhaps not others’ lives, but in one’s own. Directed by Albert River and made with support from NZ On Air, Ellen struts on a roof amongst a cast of models and smokes in a vogueish recline in the song's accompanying clip — a nod to "The King of Cool" Dean Martin’s 1983 visuals for 'Since I Met you Baby’. The graphic assault of colour and glamour work against Ellen’s desolate lyrics, where the Herculean body of water seems as biting as it is rich. The clip later reveals the green screen, as if to lift the curtain on the attractive intensity of fantasy.

Ellen will be joining stellar labelmates and friends at a triple-bar treat for Tāmaki Makaurau gig-goers, Flying Nun’s end of year wrap party Beautiful Things — scope out the details and hit play below...

"Homewrecker is the personification of my inner demon forcing its way in to create chaos where it senses harmony. I'm my own home wrecker. Ain't we all?" — Vera Ellen
