Watch Will Joseph Cook throw the grooviest pity party in new video for ‘MF BASSLINE’
Will Joseph Cook has released a video for his latest single, ‘MF BASSLINE’, a vivid indie-pop track that embraces the fun within the low moments of life.
The video, directed by Rob Strange, features Cook going about his day and dancing around while wearing a speaker on his head. The quirky video and song are Cook’s newest release following his third album, 2022’s ‘Every Single Thing’.
“‘MF BASSLINE’ is about giving my inner negativity a voice,” said the 25-year-old Tunbridge Wells musician. “In the past I always felt uncomfortable indulging that rawness but I’ve learnt that bottling it up only seems to make it worse.”
He explained that: “Hopefully someone who’s struggling feels seen by the lyrics and the track helps them air out their issues a bit.”
Upon the release of ‘MF BASELINE’, Cook is set to embark on a North American headline tour in April and an EU and UK summer tour.
