Stella Donnelly‘s star continues to rise with multiple WAM Awards to her name plus a J Award nomination this week (not a bad haul), but with the release of her new music video for “Boys Will Be Boys”, the young Freo artist has once again shown that her hold on the craft is a powerful one.
An intimate yet incredibly strong track, “Boys Will Be Boys” is Donnelly’s attempt at navigating this murky territory where excuses are made and victims of abuse are blamed in today’s society. As she explains, the video was made with the purpose of highlighting the weight of the burden victims shoulder.
“The video itself was intended to express the burden of victim blaming and sexual assault on the victims themselves as the mundane aspects of life go on. A song is just a song but at the very least, I hope it will open up difficult yet important conversations between family members, friends, government bodies, organisations and most importantly, boys and men.”
Directed and shot by George Foster, “Boys Will Be Boys” is definitely worth a watch today – press play on the clip below.
