Celia Pavey of moniker Vera Blue cemented her name as one of music’s great storytellers with the release of her debut album Perennial last year. It was an album set into three chronological parts as it told the story of a women’s breakdown after a relationship and her journey to finding a renewed strength.

In October, Pavey dropped a brand new single – one of self-possession and empowerment. Titled All The Pretty Girls, her deft lyricism is still there but her sound different and evolved. Her accompanying music video – a lo-fi, dream-like creation of ARIA Award nominee director Jared Daperis – explores undefined relationships and the vague and complicated territory they enter as they start to deteriorate.

“This clip is one of my favourites so far,” says Pavey.  I loved working with Jared on the concept and story line and I knew he understood the tune with a simple but metaphorical vision, beautifully shot with the perfect amount of quirk and emotion. I loved involving other actors into the clip to create relatable dynamics and romantic relationships.”
