Kristen Stewart, CHVRCHES Collaborate On Music Video for Planned Parenthood
LatestIn a union conceived by powers most holy and good, Kristen Stewart teamed up with the band CHVRCHES to direct their latest music video. It’s a live performance of “Down Side Of Me,” which appears on their most recent album, Every Open Eye. This version serves as a contribution to 7-inches for Planned Parenthood, a 7″ series launched to raise money for the organization.
As Flavorwire reports, this is Stewart’s third directing project, and the aesthetic seems to coincide with her other artistic and performative decisions. It’s sensual but minimalistic and aloof. I would go as far as to say the video is a love letter to CHVRCHES frontwoman Lauren Mayberry, though it never captures her full body in the frame. The camera follows her delicate hands, peers into her eyes, and lingers close to her bright pink lips.
