Up and coming artist Bambina agrees to try out some VR fantasies with her boyfriend - resulting in some eyebrow-raising moments - in Erin Murray's video for Anyway U Want It.Co-starring Whitmer Thomas as Bambina's love interest, Murray's video has the couple navigating the complications of virtual sex with a real sense of fun. Boasting nostalgic, PS1 videogame style graphics in the VR world - care of Peter Puskas - the video has an anachronistic, strangely otherworldly feel, which adds to the comedy and ridiculousness of it all.And then there's the back-breaking positions and a purple alien mistress... "This collaboration with Bambina felt like two secret freaks coming together to revel in our freakiness," says Erin Murray. "I’m honoured that Bambina trusted me to create this video for her."I think VR sex is the perfect realm to explore the dissonance between reality and fantasy that exists in couple dynamics, and I knew that Pete Puskas’s perfectly glitchy animations and Whitmer Thomas’s physical comedy would milk the humor out of this concept. I hope people laugh and think “WTF” when they see this video."Bambina adds that the song is a Anyway U Want It “is a fun and positive take on breaking free from the shackles of a failing love" which celebrates the feeling of rejection in a light-hearted and celebratory spirit."Erin’s vision, which initially terrified me, allowed me to fully surrender to the vulnerable heights two lovers are willing to go to in order to make things work (or not)!"
