Léa Sen stays at home with her pet chameleon in Molly Burdett's soothing video for I Feel Like I'm Blue. In a series of beautifully composed scenes in a comfortable home, Sen is in a state of relaxed contemplation - accompanied by her chameleon named Blue. Within the setting Burdett explores a metaphor for changing identity and Sen engages in conversation with her future self.In Lea’s words: "Blue the chameleon is an extension of me. It was also a hint at the challenge of being an immigrant in London and sometimes having to (whether you’re conscious of it or not) change yourself to fit this foreign picture you’re now apart of."Sen's performance is heartfelt and understated, which matches the melancholic vibes of the track, and the desaturated colour palettes and lingering shots help elevate this mood.
