Laurence-Anne reveals a new music video for Vitesse and announces Mexican tour dates

One week before her show at Montreal’s Taverne Tour festival, Laurence-Anne unveils an eerie music video for Vitesse, the lead single from Oniromancie, her third album released via Bonsound last September. She seizes the opportunity to announce a Mexican tour, which will take place in February and March 2024.

Directed by Didier Pigeon-Perreault, the music video shows Laurence-Anne anxiously attending a rodeo event that gets weirder as the bad vibes become increasingly difficult to ignore. Oneirism and realism are the two worlds I wanted to bring together in the video, says the director. Coming from a cinematographic practice that mixes documentary and fiction to confuse the viewer between what's real and what's fake, I wanted to work with real footage while using a visual style that comes close to fiction.

The video’s monochrome color scheme, peculiar setting and frantic pace mirror the stress, anxiety and darkness channeled by the song. That's why I decided to set the action in a rodeo that looks neither Québécois nor American, a place of which the identity remains unclear, adds Didier. Laurence-Anne is witnessing a show that’s trying to get under her skin, but she can't figure out whether it's for good or evil.
