Petra Glynt recently released a new music video for “New Growth” a track off her exceptional 2018 album My Flag Is A Burning Rag Of Love (which was one of the best protest albums of 2018).
The video starts off by referencing different news reports involving sexual misconduct. The video is an empowering response to the occurrences #MeToo incidents.
Glynt made the following statement: “The “New Growth” video carries these feelings of anger and empowerment. I chose to create my own version of a scene from David Lynch’s “Wild at Heart.” The love, passion, hope, and strength the couple share in this particular clip is visceral. Replacing the hetero relationship with my best friend and I was a conscious choice. I want to see more images of empowered womxn, non-binary, and trans folx in lead roles. I want to see queerness up front and center. The couple may not know where they’re going, but together they are full of hope and passion; an emotional combination I like to cling to. “
