Ahead of the May 8 release of Margo Price’s new album, That’s How Rumors Get Started, the artist has shared the track “Twinkle Twinkle” along with an accompanying music video, directed by Matthew Siskin (Father John Misty, Beyoncé).
Price’s new single is “a stinging indictment of nostalgia and the illusory nature of success,” while ”the video, in all its kaleidoscopic glory, was inspired by a four-hour-long free-associative text thread between Price and Siskin,” according to press materials. And the video feels that way: Images of Mona Lisa’s smile and newsreel slide on and off the screen in slipstream to lyrics like “If it don’t break you, it might just make you rich,” and a wry, “Sweet Sixteen, that kiss of death.”
That’s How Rumors Get Started follows Price’s 2017 hit LP All American Made, and will be the rock star and country singer’s third studio album. In January, Price released another single from her forthcoming album, “Stone Me.”
Price said that she was pregnant while tracking her new LP, connecting both the production of the album and her pregnancy as a “creation process.” Price adds, “I was being really good to my body and my mind during that time. I had a lot of clarity from sobriety.”
On Twitter, Price wrote, “I feel like [the album’s] been a long time coming … I had a baby and felt like I fell off the face of the earth for a while. We live in strange times but I hope this brings a little light to the dark corners of the world.”
