Arlo Parks, Eugene
Arlo Parks is an 19 year old London based artist, songwriter and poet. Arlo’s new single Eugene explores love, friendship and heartbreak. The video is directed by The Coyle-Larner Brothers and they got together with Arlo to do a Q&A for Fader about the making of the video which you can read here.
Describing the song Arlo has said;
“It's supposed to be quite ambiguous. The general gist is about having complicated feelings towards someone you've known for a long time. That was something I had seen around me and experienced myself. It's not necessarily in a romantic sense, either. It's just a feeling that you're being left out or not getting the right kind of love from the people you care about. That ambiguity is captured really well in the video. It is about two people who are close.”
Along with the release of the song, Arlo posted the poem she wrote which inspired the song on Instagram.
