New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Alt-Americana singer, songwriter and musician MANDA MOSHER has shared the video for her new single "Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore," which has been released today (7/26). It's the Los Angeles native's spirited take on the John Moreland song that will be featured on her third solo album out this fall on her Blackbird Record Label. Directed by Bob Wayne (https://bobwayne.com/) and shot at multiple locations in the San Fernando Valley, the music video was premiered this past Wednesday (7/24) at The Bluegrass Situation. The uplifting clip, which heartwarmingly underlines the importance of songs, can be seen streaming below.
Describing the storyline, MOSHER says: "When thinking of a video concept for 'Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,' the imagery that came to mind was knocking on doors with your songs in tow, as that's often how it feels as a songwriter and musician. You're looking for the right person and audience that your music speaks to, and a lot of doors close before the right ones open. We wanted it to have some levity, so we called in some friends and had some fun with the door to door aspect, finally finding acceptance from a child. Even within a technological industry that has stripped away artist's ability to make money from their art, artists continue to create because that's what we do. It's for the love of it first: 'Blessed with a curse.'"
Originally intended as a song to record with CALICO the band, her previous group, it's been reborn with impassioned harmonies by her guitarist Eric
Craig and resounds as fervent proof why songs still matter and always will. For a digital download of "Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore," go here: https://smarturl.it/nobodygivesadamn
"On the new album, I'm returning to my rock n' roll roots while incorporating elements of the California Country sound I've been known for more recently," says MOSHER. "You're gonna hear an honest representation of the music, keeping the influence of technology on the production to a minimum in the tradition of some of my favorite recordings from artists that shaped me like Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, and Wilco. I can't wait to share it with everyone."
