Today’s Music Video Monday lights the fuse.

The video for the title track was directed by Sophia Peer, who also did the first video from the album “Appointments”, and was shot with the help of Memphis filmmakers Morgan Jon Fox and Breezy Lucia (who created this unforgettable one-take video for Baker’s “Something”). This video uses a single, clear visual metaphor to build up to the moment when Baker unleashes her full vocal power. Strap in and take a look:
