Taste Test: Caly Bevier hangs personal turmoil on the line in ‘Hate U Sometimes’
The LA synth-pop creator leans into anger in a relationship for her new video.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Relationships aren’t without a little bit of a mess. You love, you fight, you clash, you make up. Rinse and repeat. It’s OK to feel whatever you’re feeling and to express the anger, the bitterness, the sorrow. It’s part of this very existence. Rising synth-pop torch bearer Caly Bevier seeks to relieve herself of all the pent up pressure, her chest caving underneath it all before cracking right in two and flying away. “Hate U Sometimes” bubbles softly, but it’s the accompanying visual, starring her real-life boyfriend (newly transitioned), that pulls together her various emotional threads into an alarmingly towering tapestry. “I get ahead of myself, I know / And I say some things I don’t mean / But that doesn’t mean I’m letting go,” she sings, the images shifting erratically from cool caresses and kisses to screaming, blood-boiling matches. But that’s the nature of the human condition: we’re comprised of molecules that are never just one thing. We are all the things, and Bevier lets it all pour out of her in a profound performance artpiece.
