NYC pop artist Tripping Jupiter unveiled the music video for their latest single “Torn America” today.
The visual, which can be seen below, features footage from a slew of protests taking place during the past two years. The artist said this about the song, which features David Bowie collaborator Gail Ann Dorsey on bass:
“I wrote the entire album in the middle of the pandemic. Being at home there was a lot of time to think about what was going on in our country and how it was affecting us. The murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests were still on my mind. The economic crash and how many workers across the nation were struggling stuck with me as well. And then more recently with the scapegoating of immigrants or members of the LGBTQ+ community – it all just reminded me how all our struggles are connected – and that it is only through a mass movement of people, collectively, that we can transform our nation and our world. All of this and the fast that climate change is happening before our eyes, made me realize that as an artist, I had to say something.”
“Torn America” stems from Tripping Jupiter’s forthcoming studio album Lipstick of the Brave, which will be released on November 4.
