"When Suki sent me the song, I was driving through Doolough Valley [in County Mayo] and the landscape here fit the mood of the music so well," director Émilie Richard-Froozan explained. Watch the video below.
Singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse has shared a new music video for her latest single 'Nostalgia', which was shot in Ireland and also stars rising Irish/Dutch musician Rob de Boer.
In the stunning video, the London-born artist can be seen riding through splashing waves and floral fields, before meeting her lover atop a rugged cliffside.
She travels back in time, both visually and metaphorically, as the emotive single speaks about lost love, featuring wistful lyrics, such as, "I just need to know that you are happy, so if it couldn't be me, then go ahead, forget me."

"I’m so happy to share the ‘Nostalgia’ video directed by Émilie Richard-Froozan," Waterhouse said, who has been in the public eye since starting her career as a model at the age of 16. "It’s the fifth video we’ve collaborated on together. We spoke a lot about how nostalgia is a place you go, a destination. Living there is a choice one makes unapologetically. To live in nostalgia is to dig your own grave, and that’s exactly what I did. The silver lining is that only you can dig yourself out again."
Award-winning Iranian-American filmmaker from New York Émilie Richard-Froozan explained the concept of the video. "This is the story of a woman writing a letter to her childhood love telling him that she’s getting married. She hasn’t heard from him in years and often wonders what might’ve been," she said. "I wanted something sweeping and epic and unapologetic."

Shot in County Mayo in the west of Ireland, the ambitious project focuses on natural beauty and how it affects our emotions. "When Suki sent me the song, I was driving through Doolough Valley and the landscape here fit the mood of the music so well," Richard-Froozan said. "The lake in Doolough had my mind gravitate toward the story of Orpheus & Eurydice and crossing the river Styx. We were also highly influenced by Wuthering Heights and the cliff scene between Heathcliff & Cathy. The whole experience was pretty magical, like the last week of summer camp with a group of old friends."
The music video also features Dublin singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Rob de Boer, who stars as Suki Waterhouse's love interest.
Waterhouse released her debut single, breakup ballad 'Brutally' back in November 2016. This year saw the release of her debut album I Can't Let Go, which was dropped via Sub Pop Records and produced by Grammy Award-nominated producer and songwriter Brad Cook (Bon Iver, The War On Drugs).
