Arctic Lake have made vulnerability their most potent weapon, a not-easy exercise that involves entering a process of self-knowledge, dealing with the most difficult emotions, and identifying feelings that are sometimes not easy to recognise. The duo's intimate alt-pop is a study in the art of baring it all, and their new single that we present today, My Weakness, is a perfect example of their line of work and creative vision. Released via Astralwerks, the music video that comes along with their latest song is directed by Marc Oller.
“My Weakness talks about how loving someone can become both your greatest strength and the greatest weakness and how there’s a quiet beauty in that, that can take your breath away,” explains Emma Foster who together with Paul Holliman lead the musical duo. They address love and feelings in this new single loaded with emotion that will easily connect with the vital experiences of many listeners. “There's fear of rejection interwoven in there because that feels like a very universal fear surrounding the story of human love. But, ultimately, it's a song about worshipping someone and telling them whether you win or lose because they deserve to know how special they are.”
Having poured their hearts and souls into My Weakness, as the musical duo explains on their social media, they thank the amazing teams who helped bring it to life. The music video takes viewers racing down a neon-lit highway, which erupts into a stunning light show that provides the backdrop for Foster's performance.
