Brooklyn-based Indie Pop artist Ski Team (Lucie Lozinski) has announced Dec. 3. as the release date for the music video of “Me”.
“Me” is about “the struggle of adjusting someone’s role in your life, or your own role to them, and giving up control in that process,” shares Lucie Lozinski, otherwise known as Ski Team. “It’s about realizing if you have to assign roles, maybe it’s not as special as you think. And, like, challenging this idea of roles being the whole of someone’s identity. It’s scary to not know who’s on your roster, or who you are without a particular person/job/trait/whatever, and just go forth into life’s abyss as a human, but it’s often better for everyone involved to get on with it.”
While the song is classified as experimental, there is enough common elements to make the song relatable to the average listener. The saxophone that begins the song is a nice touch and each time the sax makes an appearance in the mix it is always a welcome addition. The lyrics take the song to a personal level that gives the feeling of listening to a journal entry.
The video reflects the isolation and mundanity of the roles we play in everyday life by the use of the grey office space, escalators, and packed public transportation. Lozinski wears her hair pinned back as tight as can be and an all-white suit and tie combined with a long flowing skirt and a fo-leather jacket. All this draws stark connections to Apple’s famous “1984 Macintosh” commercial in the sense of routine and technology controlling life. With fantastic editing and shots that beautifully depict the liminal, the music video is an incredibly impressive achievement.
Lozinski found the saxophone player on Hinge. He had a bunch of videos of him playing sax, and she reached out saying, “hey I don’t want to date each other, but can you come put down some saxophone on this song?” And he did. Ski Team collaborated with popular producer Daniel Knowles (Sharon Van Etten, Cigarettes After Sex) on the new single. Ski Team has received praise from the likes of American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine and more.
