Folk songstress Jess Morgan has unveiled her new video for the title track of her new EP Richer Thinner Smarter this morning as well as several new additions to her upcoming tour celebrating the new release.
In Jess’s distinctive independent style, the video went from conception to completion in just 36 hours with a budget that stretched as far as “a couple of rolls of tin foil and a packet of crumpets”. Starring Jess herself alongside a robot made of cardboard, it’s a quirky folk video with wonderful earthy undertones.
