“It’s Quiet Now,” directed by LA-based vocalist, songwriter and visual artist Cor.ece (who is also featured on the album in “Stand”) includes Clare Riche and Brandon Lucas as the leading roles. This striking video continues to demostrate Honey’s impact as a multi-disciplinary artist across the Black Girl Magic project.
With the intention of demonstrating the experiences of trans women, Honey and Cor.ece’s vision explores the intimate and emotional moments of the protagonist’s life, including the challenges she faces in her relationship. Wanting to create a captivating story, Cor.ece describes the project:
“What was most important for me about directing ‘It’s Quiet Now’ was making sure I told a story that was not only revealing and raw but also empowering for the protagonist at the centre. We get to witness peace that is earned–and fought for. I don’t think we can see enough depictions of real self-love…
‘It’s Quiet Now’ is already one of those special tracks that is not only seductive for the dancefloor, but it tells a story. Honey and I wanted to bring this story to life. In three minutes, we get a full arc from pain to romance to true liberation.” – Cor.ece
