Visuals: BOOTS "EST"


In less than a year, Jordy Asher known under the anonym BOOTS has marked his musical genius onto 85% of Beyonce's self-titled album, signed into the RocNation family, released a romantic mid-tempo ballad featuring Queen Bey's sensual vocal zags and debuted a genre-bending mixtape WinterSpringSummerFall with featured collaborations from Kelela, Sholohmo, Jeremih, Sia, Son Lux, and Margot. Now the mystery crooner unleashes self-directed visuals for his romantic electro ballad "EST." 

The sui generis travelogue captures the life of Jordy Asher and his voyage around the globe. The trippy aesthetics display vibrantly hued countrysides, throbbing landscape depictions and majestic spurts of the Eiffel Tower. His graceful vocals and gently acoustic sound strums caress the ingenious abstractions, night time silhouettes, frames of old film footage and titillating camera pans.

The visuals reflect the everyday inspirations that contribute to his creative process.

"Everything sounds like music to me, so sometimes when I hear things in the city or in nature, I'll record those sounds and put them into songs. A train I heard in New Orleans ended up in "Dust," he told Buzzfeed.
