Alice Boman Shares “Everybody Hurts” Video
Sweden’s Alice Boman today shared a video for “Everybody Hurts” ahead of this Friday’s release of her long-awaited debut album Dream On ([PIAS]). Boman says, “This song is about being rejected and turned down and how that can make you question yourself and your worth, regardless of the circumstances. Especially when it happens again and again. I guess rejection is one of the things we all fear the most. But I also wanted this song to feel a bit encouraging despite the theme. A reminder to not take it too personally. All of us get hurt. And it’s ok. You’re ok.” Of the accompanying Julia Ringdahl-directed clip, she adds “I love the work of weaver Nanny Rådenman and I will bring some of her fabrics with me on tour – to use on stage as a backdrop. We got the idea to use some of her weaves in this video as well – to tie things together. To create something special.”

Ricks Smith explains, “In ‘The Rules,’ we delve into the reality of the challenges faced by women as they face a world seemingly built to oppress and manipulate. It also serves to exalt the undeniable power of the feminine energy and to brandish that strength as a weapon against a society that will not accept their independence and autonomy. It serves less as a threat and more as a reckoning.”
