We've been buzzing about MTV Artist To Watch Tori Kelly since 2012, but by far one of our fave Stan moments was her House Of Blues Sunset set in January. Remember when she slayed our souls with "Dear No One" then raised our adrenaline with a surprise "Right There" duet with Ariana Grande? Well, brace yourself for even more feels thanks to Kelly's new video for "Paper Hearts." Fair warning, though: You'll probably need a box or three of tissues to get this breakup anthem's clip, which is drowning us in feels and is getting rave reviews.
The buzz around Kelly continues to grow with the second promotional cut from her critically acclaimed debut EP "Foreword," which was released last October. The talented 21-year-old songstress follows "Dear No One" with simple acoustic gem "Paper Hearts," which puts the focus on the rising star's songwriting ability and pretty voice as she channels a seventies rock 'n' roll vibe. Signed to Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, the up-and-coming Capitol Records recording artist is planning to release a debut album later this year.
Just like the song, the Andrew Rose-directed video is powerful and a sentimental affair - melds two tales - that finds Kelly looking at old photos and reflecting on happy memories with her man. That part is great but half-way through she disappears and dancer Ian Eastwood spends the rest of the visual performing kooky slow choreography. It's certainly different! The first is of Kelly and her presumed boyfriend enjoying carnivals and quiet walks on train tracks. No tears there, unless you're crying over Kelly's cashmere-soft vocals and gentle guitar-strumming.
Too bad these are just memories of a failed love swimming through Kelly's mind as she eyes a bunch of old Polaroids! Cue the tears, but at least Kelly's boo has some fancy, interpretive dancing to perfectly capture the pain, frustration, and sadness we're vicariously feeling. It features choreographer/dancer Ian Eastwood, who creates a masterpiece through dance in the video. On the brighter side, we've at least learned a new way to break up with someone when you can't find the words: dance it out!
