MacKenzie Porter’s new music video for her track “Pickup” is all Barbie, bubblegum pink and damaged hearts.
Porter couldn’t be happier.
“The ’Pickup’ music video was certainly one of my favourite music video shoots I’ve ever carried out,” she mentioned. “I beloved the idea, from the minute we got here up with it so seeing it come to life was so particular. My favourite half was my canine (daughter), Willa, made her appearing debut! It goes by so quick however she’s in there and it makes me so glad to see her little face on display.”
Written by Porter, Will Bundy, Lydia Vaughan, the track asks the query, “Who’s that pickup choosing up now?” Justin Clough directed the video that sees Barbie come to life, nevertheless it undoubtedly wasn’t her dream home state of affairs.
“I actually needed the video to inform the story of a breakup in a singular approach — in a roundabout way on the lyric,” Porter mentioned. “Once we got here up with the ‘Barbie involves life however doesn’t get the man in the long run’ concept…it simply felt proper. As a younger lady I assumed Barbie was the whole lot – she had all of it collectively, the right hair, the right face, the right physique. However I like telling the story that regardless that somebody’s life appears ’good’ on paper, that by no means actually displays actuality. No person’s life is ideal, and all of us get our hearts damaged sooner or later.”
The Canadian-born singer, who lately rose to recognition as Dustin Lynch’s duet associate on the six-week No. 1 hit “Pondering ‘Bout You,” hopes the video makes individuals really feel much less alone after they’re coping with heartbreak.
“I hope it lets them know that all of us, sooner or later in our life, don’t get the man or the lady,” she mentioned. “I assumed it turned out in such a enjoyable approach, and it completely brings our imaginative and prescient to life. I hope everybody likes it as a lot as I do!”
