Newcomer Terez Considers Heartbreak in "La. La. La." Video

The Canadian pop artist's debut single has a new music video, a sweet companion to her breakup track.

Terez debuted her first single "La. La. La." earlier this summer, and her new music video is a dreamy reminder of her burgeoning talent.

The Canadian artist's first release exists somewhere between bubblegum-pop and a modern-R&B sound, melting a trap drum into her light vocals. It's a perfect fit for the dreaminess of the video: designated as a "visualizer," it's a collection of images set against the same shade of pink as Terez's hair color. She dismissively pushes a set of Polaroids off a table, gingerly picks up a wine glass, moves slowly to the music balanced precariously on a file cabinet; all of these smaller moments are broken up by her melancholy gazes into the camera. The video loops as the song goes on, providing an interesting visual rhythm.

To have Terez tell it herself, the video "touches on the heaviness of any break up - wine, tissues, old photographs, and all the tears that come along with it." These moments, the video for "La. La. La." itself, underline the least-sung but most relatable parts of heartbreak: the small motions Terez takes, the little pieces she picks up in her attempt to move on.
