TORONTO INDIE/POP ARTIST HOUSEWIFE REVEALS MUSIC VIDEO FOR SINGLE “WASN’T YOU”
Toronto artist Housewife tackles heartbreak on lead single “Wasn’t You”, a dreamy ballad with a pop-rock edge. The track is released alongside a music video featuring Housewife surrounded by roses, idealizing love, with the artist eventually destroying everything around them in a rage.
When reflecting on the track, Housewife shares:
“Wasn’t You is about the trials and tribulations of dating men- specifically as a queer / afab person. it can be really frustrating to find someone you like / are attracted to but know there’s a lot of patriarchal shit they need to unlearn, and it can be hard when there’s also a lot of gender envy and maybe even resentment tied up in that as well.
I wrote this song in Nashville with Bobbie Allen (young summer) and Carrie K. I remember it being a lot of fun, kind of just hanging out with two old sisters and gossiping and complaining about my love life. But it ended up turning into an awesome song.
I then recorded it with Gabe Simon, Carrie, and Konrad Snyder a few months ago, and we ended up taking it in this really fun fuzzy, sludgy direction. it was also one of my first songs where i felt empowered to play all the guitars myself, which was really cool!”
