17-year-old indie prodigy AVIV has just released the music video for “Blue Eyed Boy,” her new single portraying the evolution of a 300-day rollercoaster relationship that started with excitement and ended with pure emptiness. The tempo and melody emulates those varying up and down stages, beginning with a slow mystifying rhythm representing the exhilaration of discovery and lust. It speeds up to encapsulate the thrill, anxiety, and complexity of sustaining the relationship and finally returns to a slow sedated ending, leading to a sad demise. “I was left with a huge void, only remaining with stoic, yet beautiful blue eyes,” AVIV reflects.
