To support their newly released debut EP, ‘Running To The Sun,’ eclectic duo St. Beauty, comprised of Alex Belle and Isis Valentino, unwraps a new music video for the album favorite, “Not Discuss It.”
In the Lacey Duke-directed visual, shot in Brooklyn, NY, melanin magic is on full blast as the duo sings about their relationship dilemmas.
“Not Discuss It” follows up the sub-animated music video for the single, “Caught,” a song about cheating men. The song was used in Season 2 of HBO’s Insecure during episode seven (“Hella Disrespectful”). “Holographic Lover” and “Borders” were also featured in Season 1 of Insecure.
About their new EP, ST. Beauty says, “This project is just the beginning for us.” They continued, “We have so much more to say, and we’re so excited to continue to share our story with the world. Thank you to Janelle Monáe and Wondaland for being such an inspiration and believing in our vision.”
Watch the sensual and intoxicating video for “Not Discuss It” below:
“Not Discuss It” by St. Beauty is a soulful and introspective track that delves into the complexities of communication and the delicate balance between honesty and self-preservation. The song opens with a gentle, dreamy instrumental, where soft guitar strums and understated electronic beats create an intimate and soothing atmosphere. This relaxed backdrop allows the poignant lyrics and emotive vocals to take center stage.
St. Beauty’s vocal delivery is smooth and contemplative, with a sense of vulnerability that adds depth to the song’s theme. The lyrics explore the moments when words are either too hard to find or too painful to express, touching on the struggle of keeping feelings bottled up to avoid conflict or heartache. As the title suggests, the song navigates the tension between what is said and what is left unspoken.
The chorus is catchy and memorable, with a haunting quality that lingers in the listener’s mind. The harmonies are lush, providing a rich layer of texture that enhances the emotional weight of the song. The production is polished yet understated, with subtle details that add to the overall atmosphere without overshadowing the vocals.
“Not Discuss It” is a soulful exploration of the emotional barriers we create to protect ourselves from hurt. It’s a song that resonates with anyone who has faced the challenge of navigating difficult conversations and the aftermath of words left unsaid. The combination of smooth instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics makes it a captivating and reflective listening experience.
