Taken from the Starling’s second, rebellious EP, The Body, the video for ‘Yellow Shoeshine’ is a nocturnal jaunt through the city as the singer-songwriter frees herself from all previous constraints. The brightest symbol of her new-found liberation is Starling’s unconventional dance performance in an empty space, while repeatedly singing “I don’t care,” in that rock-leaning pop vocal. Speaking about the origin of this powerful emotion, the London artist tells us that following the break-down of a relationship and a night out, “I woke up with sick on my shoe at a bus stop on 2nd Ave in New York. I did think I'd gone too far but I had a session to get to with a producer I hadn't worked with before (Nick Sylvester) and so turned up, but the thing was not only was I feeling terrible but I had some sick still on my shoe - sorry I know that's gross but it's true - and so when he started with some beats I just started singing about last night and the ex and the whole thing of liberation and being you and not pleasing others.”” Her self-named yellow shoeshine is an unlikely source of inspiration, but effective nevertheless. - HT
