Lila Drew’s “Used To” video makes an impression.

London-born, Los Angeles-reared This Friday sees the release of Drew’s debut album All The Places I Could Be.
The self-described “pop cynic who produces pop music,” as Lila Drew puts it, sums up her massive hooks and emotionally charged songs well. The 22-year-old solo singer frequently delivers her songs with a wink. On Friday, November 11, Drew will release his first album All The Places I Could Be, and to raise interest, he has released the song “Used To,” which softens its punches by admitting that honesty may be embarrassing. She sings, “Sorry for the lack of clarity,” as she reveals her thoughts about a relationship over cheery piano chords. And rhymes that I came up with. The FADER is debuting the song’s music video below.
According to Drew, before composing “Used To,” I felt like I was too hesitant to speak things I wanted to say out of fear of being regarded badly or anything, he said in an email to The FADER. The start of Used To (“I don’t write like I used to, if I told you that I did then I was lying”) was taken from a very lengthy and heavy song that I had composed the day before. We wanted to make this gloomy song I had written a little bit hilarious and snarky — a serious song trying not to take itself too seriously — and were inspired by Natasha Bedingfield and Jamiroquai, who both soundtracked our childhoods.
Vincent Haycock, a frequent collaborator who has produced four visual accompaniments for the album, helmed the “Used To” video. The new film, which draws inspiration from minimalist images, combines shots of hedonistic behaviour with another showing the making and breaking of a clay bust. The video is below. up.” The FADER is debuting the song’s music video below.
