Remi Wolf releases new single, “Motorcycle,” off her highly anticipated sophomore album, Big Ideas, out July 12th on Island Records.
Remi said:
Lyrically the song dives into this internal dichotomy I experience a lot in my life. One side of me is always wanting to slow down and settle down and be in love and be normal and have babies and shit, while the other, very forceful, part of me needs to be restlessly independent and stubborn and free. The song is essentially a fantasy about me living in a reality where both sides of me can exist simultaneously……. Secret lives of the wives of Harley Davidson type….
Directed by, Sweetiepie, “Motorcycle’s” accompanying music video captures Remi’s sense of humor and introspectiveness as she tries her best at roleplaying a traditional housewife while dressed in vintage attire. Deepening the song’s themes of romantic yearning and desire for a profound connection Remi is shown trying to maintain her home tidy to impress a cardboard cutout of a husband, but instead finds herself vacuuming the lawn, drenching the kitchen counter with coffee and smoking.
