Maryland’s Marie Ann Hedonia is set to release her album Eclipse, featuring the single “Eve Had the Metallic Shine of Summer,” in collaboration with Black Kite. The track blends forbidding electronics with poignant lyrics inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s film Persona, exploring themes of emotional sacrifice and unreciprocated love. The accompanying music video portrays Hedonia’s struggle as she invests her emotions into a cold mannequin, culminating in a moment of self-liberation against a stormy backdrop.
How does the use of stark visuals and sound in Hedonia’s work enhance our understanding of emotional struggles in relationships?
