Kelsey Lu's shades of blue

Kelsey Lu was raised in North Carolina as a Jehovah’s Witness and spent most of her time reading the Bible. Now she has released a music video that grabs your attention and makes you apart of her world.

“It’s like the snow that gathers beside the road,” Lu says in a voice-over at the start of the video. “Over time, it turns, from its pristine whiteness that it attempts to block blackness below, to a sludge-fest, tire marks and wind, and on occasion, ice. Revealing that nothing can go untouched, and in time, all will be revealed.” At the beginning of the video it shows Lu wearing a white prairie dress shovelling mud into a rusty old bucket. Then you see Kelsey on a boat wearing full-blown fall/winter 18 Molly Goddard confection flowing in the wind. In the final scene we see Kelsey in a beaded jumpsuit by fine artist Sienna Shields.

On Instagram Lu wrote “Shades Of Blue was written during a time of deep depression, and later became realised as a conversation with it,” she said. “I hope it brings you glimpses of peace as it did for me.”
