Director Statement

From the initial talks of Slow Rider, Emily was drawn in by the vibrant block colors and possible movement ideas. Coming from the sullen tones of the suburbs, the brightness of Lilli’s vision was a beautiful contrast to the world Emily grew up in. The movements within the video are inspired by other music videos like “Un Millón” by the Marías and “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa, along with Emily and Lilli’s respective backgrounds in dance and gymnastics. By moving back and forth between dreamy sequences and rhythmic club dances, Emily hopes to emulate the roller coaster feeling of slow burn love.
