Sabrina Claudio delivers another soul-stirring single called “Holding The Gun,” which is also accompanied by a cinematic visual. The song’s lyrics hover around supporting your man and the visual plays on this theme with a Bonnie & Clyde inspired journey into madness and obsession. In the clip, Claudio and her male co-star take a journey through desert lands as she pledges her commitment to him through eargasmic and sultry vocals.
“Holding The Gun symbolizes loyalty and an everlasting type of love,” says Sabrina. “I wanted to make sure that showing violence was not a factor within the visual as violence, conceptually, isn’t what the song is about. The blood & insinuation of crime represents the lengths one would go when so deeply in love.”
“Holding The Gun” is the first taste from Claudio’s upcoming project, due out later this year. The track follows the seductive “As Long As You’re Asleep” as well as recent collaborations with Wale on “All My Love” and BURNS and A$AP Rocky on “Energy.”
This fall, Sabrina will embark on her biggest North American headline run to date. The “Truth Is Tour” – featuring backing from her live band – kicks off September 21st at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA and travels the U.S. and Canada through early November.
