French Vanilla – “Suddenly” Video

French Vanilla – “Suddenly” Video

French Vanilla are releasing their sophomore album, How Am I Not Myself?, next month. The Los Angeles four-piece shared its first single, “All The Time,” a few weeks back, and today they’re back with another one, “Suddenly.” Just like the first, this one centers a stomping saxophone in a dance-y rock song, and this song’s all about how enjoyable partying can be until, suddenly, it’s not. “I like the nightlife/ I’m in the spotlight/ I want to live life,” Sally Spitz sings on it, but there’s a point where all that fun turns into something nightmarish.

The music video for the track was shot at the Hollywood Castle, and the band leans into the campiness of its location, donning aristocratic outfits and shooting down the many jesters that try to placate them. It all leads to a debaucherous-looking party.

Watch and listen below.
