The Making of "Barstow"
The music video for "Barstow" is a collaborative masterpiece featuring not only Malone and Reeder but also Robin Tunney, a well-known actress in her own right. The choice of Reeder as the director was a deliberate one, with Malone being an admirer of Reeder’s earlier works like ‘Knives and Skin’ and ‘Perpetrator.’ Their first collaboration evidently showcases a seamless blend of audio and visual storytelling that enhances the thematic depth of the song.
Malone’s journey with "Barstow" started as a personal project that evolved with the help of Jamie Jackson, who co-wrote and produced the record. Malone describes the song as one that haunted her, a piece that felt like it had been waiting to be written since her childhood. This emotional connection makes "Barstow" not just a track, but a narrative close to Malone’s heart, setting the tone for the rest of the album.
A New Chapter in Malone’s Musical Career
After a decade-long hiatus in her music career, Malone’s return is marked by a blend of nostalgia and innovation. Her approach to music has transformed significantly; she now composes and arranges her music using her iPhone, seizing moments of inspiration amidst her busy life as a mother. This method of creation, though different, has brought a fresh perspective to her music, evident in the dreamy, synth-driven soundscapes of her new work.
"Flowers for Men" is set to be released under Malone’s own label, There Was an Old Woman Records, with a launch date scheduled for May 8. To promote her album, Malone has also planned a series of live shows that will take her across various cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and New York, starting in June.
Insights and Anticipations
Reflecting on her dual careers, Malone shares her excitement and slight nervousness about stepping back into the music scene. The anticipation of sharing what she terms as a product of ‘transformation’ and ‘stolen moments’ adds a layer of intimacy and earnestness to her upcoming album.
The collaboration doesn’t just stop at the music production. The dynamic between Malone and her co-star Tunney in the music video also brings an additional layer of chemistry and authenticity to the project. Malone expressed a profound respect and joy in working with Tunney, highlighting the serendipitous nature of their professional crossing.
