“If you’re always trying to get even, that’s a ride you never get off”. Los Angeles based Stewart Taylor packs a punch with latest single, ‘Even’.
Stewart Taylor has been singing, songwriting, and dancing since he was a four year old, and his passion for turning his ideas into music and songs shows in every note. A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, his lyrics are honest and relatable, and often explore the bittersweet play between beauty and pain of his past relationships. Clear inspiration coming from iconic pop legends like Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruno Mars, as well as other queer trailblazers, Stewart’s sound will earworm into your brain as he seamlessly merges classic pop vibes with a fresh, modern edge.
The music video for ‘Even’ brings a seemingly never-ending computer game to life. Collaborating with director Benjamin Farren, choreographer Julie Vegliante, and German designer Joseph Auren, the video game aesthetic of the clip is packed full with special effects, vibrant animation, and dynamic choreography, all working together to give the viewer a delightful and vivid sensory experience. We see argument between Stewart and his ex propel them higher “levels” – of conflict. Each scene is significant for Stewart, expressing his lived experience, as he battles an opponent while reaching with increasing desperation to those memories of calmer, less complicated times. He realises however that those times are in the past, and so steps up for one final time, eventually finishing on top in the final battle.
