Queen Kwong has shared a video for Sad Man.
Serving as an ode to the stagnant and toxic culture Carré Kwong Callaway has encountered from individuals throughout her time in the music industry, the track features on the Los Angeles-based Callaway's third album, 'Couples Only', released back in July via Sonic Ritual.
The clip, meanwhile, stars her alongside Jackass star and actor Johnny Knoxville, and is inspired by Abel Ferrara's 1992 film Bad Lieutenant, with Knoxville playing the part of Harvey Keitel's titular bad lieutenant. Callaway said:
"I knew it would take a really special guy to perform in this video, someone who wasn’t afraid of really embracing what the song represents.
"Even though the Sad Man video couldn't be more different than Jackass, I knew Knoxville was the one for it - he's clearly fearless and has a sense of humor… We danced around, cried and then we went to a church and prayed. Knox was so open to trying everything. It was amazing to work with someone who could have easily been a diva but instead gave 100% of himself to the role, learning all the words and embracing the discomfort. His performance was so powerful that when he started crying, I started crying."
