Everyone's eternally favorite lesbian rocker has released the third single off her next album.
Iconic Grammy and Academy award winning singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge has released “As Cool As You Try” off her upcoming album.
Filmed at Molly Malone’s in Los Angeles, the video was co-directed by Lisa Eaton and Ayesha Orange, and features Melissa going back to her roots with a live performance in a small venue with a smoky dive-bar ambience.
“The video is fun. The inspiration comes from my days long, long ago when I played in the bars so we wanted to capture that,” says Etheridge.
Not only was the director of the video a woman, Lisa Eaton, but so was the dance director (Ayesha Orange; Etheridge had dancers for the first time ever in one of her music videos) and the majority of the crew were also female.
