Singer, songwriter, and truly creative visionary Remy Bond is making waves as an entrancing pop presence and a bona fide artist to watch. She just released the striking new music video for “Skin Tight Jeans,” a standout track from her exciting new project, Backstage At The Tropicana, which became available earlier this month. Remy envisioned this project as a Hawaiian vacation, all while beautifully glamorizing her own nostalgia for the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, successfully setting a completely unique tone for the music. The visual for “Skin Tight Jeans” perfectly captures that spirit with its vibrant, retro infused energy.
The video is set entirely in Tokyo and moves through wonderful, dreamlike scenes featuring cherry blossoms and dancers as Remy embraces a surreal baby doll aesthetic, fully leaning into the song’s key line: “Dress me like a baby doll.” Discussing the project, Remy shared, “When piecing this project together, I wanted it to feel like a good bunch of songs that reflects on everything I’ve released so far while adding songs that set the tone of this new era. I’ve always felt nostalgia was the strongest emotion. I had a magical childhood, and I think I glamorize that nostalgia in the same way I think of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.” She perfectly explains her deeply personal approach to creating music that connects with history.
Remy continued this thought by adding, “Though the past slowly fades, I try to write each song like a reminder of those disappearing worlds. One song might take you to a 50s diner, another on a Hawaiian honeymoon.” Backstage At The Tropicana follows a series of excellent releases, including the surprise live recordings of “Summer Song” and “Goodbye Stranger” from her sold out show at the El Rey Theatre. These came right after the successful single “No One” this summer, a track that quickly became a fan favorite after being teased on TikTok. Remy is consistently building a magnificent catalog, and “No One” arrived right on the heels of her hit “Moviestar” and her dreamy major label debut, “Simple Girl.”
