Directed by Shygirl and styled by Burberry, BLU is a longform live realisation of the artist's universally-acclaimed ALIAS EP, released in October of last year.Across the 15 minute film, Shygirl performs a number of tracks from the project, as well as debuting her latest single BDE, featuring UK rapper slowthai.Floating in a deep blue haze, the aesthetic jumps between clean futuristic imagery and surreal visions of melting textures and unsettling clones. And Shygirl smoulders with frank sexuality, as is her wont. It's a true feat, and for anyone who doesn't already have Shygirl on their radar, this most certainly won't be the case after this film.
