Rico Nasty on working with The Drums: "Jonny Pierce has such a vulnerable soul"
Rico Nasty has spoken of her experiences of working with Jonny Pierce from The Drums as the band reveal a visual for their collaboration with the Maryland rapper and singer on "Dying".
“Working with Jonny has been a dream. He has such a vulnerable soul," she explains. "The song came about pretty simply. We’ve been showing love to each other throughout the years and our schedules finally allowed us time to make something beautiful together. The song is about spending all your life dying for love.”
Pierce explains that the video portrays a "frustrating connection to self... For much of my life, I have felt like a ghost floating outside of my own body, outside of my own experiences, outside of my own relationships. The song and video portray that – and how that disconnect plays a part in how others have sometimes seen and experienced me, leading to a feeling of loneliness without hope. If I can’t be in my body, and know myself, how can I learn to love myself? And if I can’t learn to love myself, how can I be truly known and loved by anyone else? Dying all my life…"
"Dying" features on the band's new album, Jonny, out now via ANTI- Records. The record dives deep into Pierce’s experiences growing up in a cult-like religious community in upstate New York.
