Jenna Camille plays a deflated wife vying for her husband's lust in the new video for her single, "Up & Down."
"I got this idea of writing this song about a working-class couple whose still trying to find the time to keep the spark going," she says in her upcoming 'Uptown Interview.' "The video is inspired by Roseanne where Dan, her husband, is having dreams about another woman, and she's trying to figure out why he's not into having sex with her anymore...and trying to find ways to make their sex-life work."
Davon Bryant AKA Dreamcast, who's been featured in the Sounds of D.C. playlist and most recently in The Fader, plays disinterested Dan. Both Camille and Bryant are consistent supporters of one another's artistry; find them in attendance at each other's D.C. shows, but perhaps there is an ulterior motive behind this collaboration.
"I feel like this is a question that could get me in trouble..." Camille said when asked why Dreamcast was the subject of choice. "Well, one because to be honest--Davon--I feel the most comfortable with him as a leading person. And two, because...don't make me answer that!"
"Up & Down" is now available on Bandcamp, where you can also download an exclusive Michael Jackson outro performed live at 9:30 Club. Watch the video above.
