If you’ve ever come across the beautifully curated archive of enticing imagery and psychedelic artwork that is Antoine Diligent’s Instagram feed, the music video for “Nobody Loves U (WYL),” the first single off Diligent’s upcoming sophomore album, La Forma, is sure to appear as a fitting representation of the artist, both visually and sonically.
A revolving, synth-centric track in the psych-pop tradition reminiscent of acts such as Tame Impala and Ariel Pink, “Nobody Loves U (WYL)” is a kaleidoscopic look into Diligent’s psyche, detailing conflicts internal and external; “I don’t wanna make things worse at your expense / It’s bad enough it’s myself I’ve crossed / When I think about it now, it makes sense / Nobody loves you when you’re lost.”
A colorful blend of classic and modern aesthetics within the frame of an early MTV-style feature, the psychotropic smorgasbord of a video playfully merges visions of dancing silhouettes with a total eclipse of a lemon and bright geometric play with monochrome self-taping.
