Eminem has released the video for his latest single ‘Space Bound’, which you can watch at the bottom of this article. The promo is controversial as always, with an angsty Eminem decided to shoot himself in the head by way of a ‘Sliding Doors’ emotional journey. Similarly to Eminem’s previous hit ‘Love the Way You Lie’, ‘Space Bound’ depicts a difficult romantic relationship with violent undertones.
Sasha Grey, an ex-porn actress who stars in the video, discussed the various interpretations with MTV News, saying: "You can read into it a few different ways, but I imagine one character is actually him, and the other is his subconscious,"
She continued: "I don't know if it necessarily has a thorough message, but I think it shows that even the strongest of love meets destruction at some point. Whether or not you come out of it together and whole is an entirely different question."
The video has already triggered complaints from a number of groups. A spokesperson from Mothers Against Violence spoke of the promo yesterday (June 28th), saying: “It’s all about the money with these videos. Eminem isn’t thinking about the families affected. It’s selfish – it comes to a point when selfishness becomes evil.”
