Following the release of his genre-defying debut album ‘Pity Party’, Curtis Waters returns today with the official music video for the song “Shoe Laces.” Co-directed by Curtis and Vancouver-based artist and animator, Jovy Bergen, the colorful and imaginative video (which pays playful homage to the popular live-action/animated children’s series, Blue’s Clues) further cements the talented 20-year-old as the one to watch innovator and break out artist from 2020.
Curtis Waters released his debut album, ‘Pity Party’ this month via his own label (licensed through BMG). Written, produced, performed and mixed by the multi-talented artist, “‘Pity Party’ is an album I started when I was at a very low point in my life when I dropped out of college and moved back home last year.” Curtis shares, “I had a lot of time to think about all my struggles growing up as a brown kid in North America dealing with mental illnesses and the guilt that came with it. It’s about getting better at coping with life. I get a lot of brown kids messaging me telling me I make them feel like they can do anything too, which is awesome. Hopefully people can listen and feel less alone. That would make all the difficulties worth it.”
Made entirely in his bedroom at the home he shares with his family in North Carolina, ‘Pity Party’ features his debut hit single ‘Stunnin” Ft. Harm Franklin, which has now surpassed more than 450 million combined global streams, and entered the Top 40 US Radio charts. ‘Pity Party’ also features fan favorites’System, ‘The Feelings Tend To Stay The Same’, ‘Freckles,’ his latest single, “Shoe Laces,” alongside 7 additional tracks.
