Los Angeles-based nondimensional/synth-driven pop artist Geneva Jacuzzi (née Garvin) has dropped her new single “Scene Ballerina” alongside a video.
The track features on her upcoming third album ‘Triple Fire‘, due to be released on August 25 through Dais Records. Pre-order your copy here.
“Scene Ballerina” opens with the vivid lines: “As soon as the beat drops/You’ll never catch her standing still/ Overstimulation/ Twirling like a rumor mill,” and the song’s gorgeous, captivating video, directed by Thalia Mavros, stars Geneva Jacuzzi as a desperate protagonist, making futile attempts to gain attention and admiration at a party surrounded by people who want nothing to do with her. She is again joined by co-stars Byron Adams and Peter Kalisch who appeared in the video for “Art Is Dangerous.
Geneva Jacuzzi shares: “We all know that person: The Scene Ballerina. Stirring up a whirlpool of drama. Leaping to center of the spotlight, spinning lies, twisting stories. All for attention. A tragic character. I can name a few ;)”
Director Thalia Mavros adds: “The music video for Geneva’s latest single is an homage to Ken Russell’s film Women in Love, a nod to our mutual obsession with his visionary filmmaking. Geneva, with her incredible sense of humor, embraced the role of The Scene Ballerina and her ability to laugh at herself brought such a playful spirit to the project. This video also captures the raw essence of LA, highlighting the stark economic and class divides that shape this city. It’s partly a tribute to the underground scene and the people who fuel it creatively (which is a recurring theme in Geneva’s latest videos), while also taking a jab at our celebrity and influencer-obsessed culture.”
