Kristen Stewart took the baton of the musical and visual trilogy titled “The Film” whose creation was carried out by boygenius, the super band made up of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker about the release of the album The Record (this March 31).
boygenius is one of the most exciting musical proposals in recent yearssince it integrates three of the most acclaimed composers and performers of recent years who maintain an indie sound that emphasizes lyrics and concepts beyond commercial precepts.
That is why it is not strange that they have chosen Kristen Stewart to direct the three videos of the songs “$20”, “Emily I’m Sorry” y “True Blue” de boygenius. The Oscar-nominated actress had already directed other music videos like “Take Me Down to the South” de Sage + the Saint en 2014 y “Down Side of Me” de Chvrches. But this collaboration between Kristen Stewart and boygenius is something else…

Emily I’m Sorry
