House of Cards is a track written at a point in time when I felt so much instability about myself. The whole song came together naturally as I was writing it from such an honest place. Making the video was a fun process because I was seeing the song come to life. I had the small house in mind from the beginning, but once we decided on having two points of view, it made it a lot more interesting. Being trapped inside the house brought the concept to life. I loved the small moments, like tearing down the mini house of cards, reading, scribbling in a journal, representing my boredom and frustration. When people watch it, I hope they feel as if they’ve experienced that type of fragility or distress when everything seems to be falling apart. At the same time, I want them to see the hope in the lines “don’t be afraid of, turning the lights on”; that’s why it ends with a spotlight shining on me. I’m excited as this is my first ever music video NFT and I am hoping to connect with new audiences.
