Melbourne singer-songwriter Alex Lahey is back with a new single, ‘Congratulations’, alongside an accompanying video she co-directed with Jon Danovic. Watch and listen below.
Of the track, Lahey said in a statement: “Two of my exes got engaged within an improbably short space of time of one another. What are the odds? Couldn’t not write a song inspired by it.”
She also described the video as “deeply unhinged,” elaborating: “It felt like the perfect time to execute a long standing concept I had of making out with myself on camera. Now both the song and the video feel like a message about choosing yourself over anyone else.”
Last year, Lahey shared the songs ‘Spike the Punch’ and ‘On My Way’, the latter of which was the theme song for the animated film The Mitchells vs The Machines.
