Today the Toronto musician Skye Wallace dropped the music video for Tough Kid via Tiny Kingdom Music.
A hazy moody retro 80s rocking vibe tune.
About the track by Skye:
So coming into this next chapter of new music, Wallace was fully armed with concepts, desires, and collaborators who re-lit their fire, and thus made a promise to only do the shit that filled their cup. Things like only making content for social media that they truly felt excited about, creating with inspiring and supportive pals – especially things that didn’t have to be “releasable” or commodified – and being critical about what performance and career meant to them.
“Before this song came to its full fruition and was still a pile of words and ideas, I had an image of this kid in my head that I was pumping up,” Wallace explains. “That kid represented anyone who needed to hear it, any kid who has been told they aren’t allowed to be who they truly are, that they aren’t good enough – I wanted this song to be a reminder to them that they’ve got a power in them that they might not believe in yet. It was only when we were designing the single artwork, which involved using an old photo of me at 10 years old, that I realized I had also been talking to my weird kid self. There’s a power in looking back with pride and care for the kid you were.”
