Annabel has called New York City home for the past several years. She felt instantly at home in this intricate and exciting city and it has been a great source of influence and inspiration for her. Annabel is now back in Europe residing in Amsterdam.
This music video is by Annabel Hailey performing single ‘Letting Go’ from the upcoming EP ‘Phases’. The video was shot in NYC, the city that has been an integral part of her story. Locations include Soho, West Village and Grand Central Station. Flash back scenes were shot inside a beautiful brownstone in West Village.
The video takes you on a journey through the streets of NYC. The character is walking home and contemplating her life thus far. She has come to a point in her life where she needs to look at her life head-on. There is a big internal turmoil that has been building up for a long period of time. She realizes that in order to make real change happen she has to let go of parts of her life that no-longer serve her. There is a push and pull of wanting to lead life fearlessly and the need to hold on to the familiar and known. In the greatest city of the world the question of ‘Where do you go from here’ is as much literal as it is metaphorical.
