Back stateside after a trio of sold-out shows in London, two of which were supporting Angel Olsen, H.C. McEntire is premiering a new music video for “Baby’s Got the Blues” off her stellar solo debut, LIONHEART. Watch it on Rookie alongside a joint-interview with Kathleen Hanna, read the lyrics and a statement from McEntire on her website, or check it out below:

Director Jared Hogan on creating a visual for the song:
In talking with Heather, we knew that we wanted this video to touch on universal wounds of depression and suffering, but established in a more poetic narrative. We also knew we wanted family and community to play an integral role. All of the subjects in the video are connected to Heather’s life in one way or another, and that was very important to us. The song strikes this beautiful balance between darkness and hope, and we wanted the video to do the same.

In case you missed it, watch the music video for “Quartz in the Valley” too! LIONHEART is available on limited-edition white Peak Vinyl and CD in the Merge store, at local independent shops around America, and via your preferred digital media service.

H.C. McEntire will hit the road this summer supporting the likes of S. Carey in July and Pedro the Lion in August before several shows at Americanafest in Nashville.
