Jennifer Burris – Memphis Flyer

Bow down before Music Video Monday!

Jennifer Burris is back as Crown Vox, Memphis’ gothic synth pop queen, with a world premiere! In “Ruler Of The Ball”, she’s taking drastic steps to maintain her hold on the realm—and some of the steps are backwards. Vox’s spooky, atmospheric song was produced by Eliot Ives at Young Ave. Sound. The video was directed by Mitch Martin, and shot by Gabe DeCarlo in the Annesdale Mansion. Robert Fortner returns in his role as Vox’s chief antagonist, a role he originated in last year’s “No Loving But Yours” video, and this time he’s brought along a squad of bannermen. I think I speak for all music video directors in saying that we hope to one day make something that needs Six Corolino’s services as weapons master. So while we’re waiting for the belated Game Of Thrones season premiere, here’s four minutes of sinister, sword-wielding bliss.

It’s a witchy Music Video Monday.

Crown Vox is the creation of singer songwriter Jennifer Burris, who has assumed a Bowie-esque alter ego for this concept album. “Crown Vox is a character that I created, with all of the music being written from her perspective. I have also written a story which connects the music in a unified narrative. The first video I’m releasing, ‘No Loving But Yours’ drops you in the middle of that story. We start off in a confusing environment of conflict, violence, and sensuality with the intention of leaving the viewer with a number of questions. My goal is to answer these questions by continuing to build out the story at both ends through music, visual imagery, and videos. It will be up to the viewer to piece together these clues and decipher what’s REALLY happening in this fictional realm,”

The video was directed by Mitch Martin. “With influences like Game of Thrones and American Horror Story, this journey with the tyrant queen, Crown Vox, will have no shortage of dark and twisted turns,” says Burris.
