In the intimate video for Frances Cone‘s latest track ‘Come Back,’ it’s hard to say whether she’s finding or losing love. If there’s one thing I’m already sure of after watching the video, directed by Sundance cinematographer Hillary Spera, it’s that Cone has a singular ability to co-exist in several world simultaneously. Her moods shift quickly here between homely intimacy and moody emotion almost at once. Even while pleading for the lover to come back, it’s somewhat unclear if Cone’s missing her boy… if her boy is missing her… if her little girl is missing her mom… no matter. These and other questions should have a chance to be addressed when her new record drops (produced by the great Dan Molad who was behind Lucius’ last effort) later this summer.
