Local singer-songwriter and drummer Eleonora Claps turned to local people and places when she made a video for a song from her recent album 10PM.
She lives on Rattray Road and the well-received 10PM is her second album. The video for Working, a track from the album, was filmed in and around her home in Rattray Road and surrounding streets and features, she says, “other Brixton-based ladies, making the most of the local LTN”.
Brixton Blog is pleased to help premier the video …
“The song is all about exhaustion, and needing to cram 2,000 things into 24 hours every day,” says Eleonora.
“It is something that, as a mother of two with a full-time (day) job, I am particularly affected by (I am exhausted!)
“But it really is such a common experience these days, when everything is done at such speed!
“So the video shows some real-life moments in the house – the laundry clothes pile-on is a particular favourite!
“And then there is the much needed liberation and recreational dance routine in the streets!”
