Charlene Soraia premieres ‘Tragic Youth’ video
South Londoner Charlene Soraia has shared the music video for her latest single Tragic Youth. Directed by The Rest (slowthai, Kojey Radical, AZEKEL), the clip is part of a longer reel that explores the lives of several South London teenagers on their journey to find their "tribe" and sense of belonging. This clip narrows in on the characters exploring their own physicality, from subtle compulsions to erupting releases of adrenaline. Watch it below!



Speaking about the video The Rest said,
When I heard the music, it reminded me of the beauty and melancholy of growing up and becoming an adult. There is a lot bubbling up under the surface for these characters but they rarely open to each other even though they get together. It's this thing we do up and down the country where nobody really addresses their issues but instead bee-lines for the weekend every week to get drunk and high to escape. There's numbness going on. We're more ready to be vulnerable on Twitter & Instagram than with each other sometimes.
Tragic Youth is the second single from her forthcoming album, Where's My Tribe, due for release on January 25th 2019 on Peacefrog. All songs were recorded by Charlene in her flat with no edits, no autotune, and in one take, revealing the raw, pure beauty of the music.
