An enigmatic force of the underground music scene, Jazmin Bean mesmerizes fans with the music video release of Shit Show, following her release of her debut album in February. Self-directed alongside visionary filmmaker Zak Watson, “Shit Show” brings viewers on a cinematic journey into the surreal world of Jazmin Bean, combining dazzling cityscapes, muted 90s aesthetics, and hauntingly beautiful melodies.
Born and raised in North London, Jazmin Bean has set a towering bar for modern pop music. Playing with the friction between vulnerability and persona, nightmare and fantasy, trauma, and recovery, the multi-faceted performer invites listeners into their unparalleled universe of alternative, infectious pop.
Bean’s breakthrough debut EP, Worldwide Torture, launched independently in 2019, alongside anthropomorphic self-funded music videos. Since its release, it has racked up over 590 million streams, cementing Bean’s status as a non-binary pop pioneer.
“I always envisioned myself falling in the video since I began to make the song, since it’s about a truly unpleasant human and relationship I wanted to just be as far away from as possible when it was over. I think the falling is a good representation of that. I wanted to land on my feet, as a sort of thing, like, you can't keep me down no matter how low you take me. I also loved the Placebo video where he walks down the building. I wanted to have a twist like that.”
