NAOMI KEYTE RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO FOR SINGLE ‘TRAVELLING WOMAN’

Naomi Keyte recently released her evocative folk/ indie/ pop single, 'Travelling Woman' (released May 15) and is now revealing her intimate new music video to pair with the release.

To accompany this lyrically rich folk narrative, timeless sound on the guitar and Keyte's poised, earthy vocal tone, comes a beautiful film clip captured on Kaurna Land by George Graetz and Rossina Possingham on a Super 8 film camera.

Telling a heartfelt story – portraying the push and pull of a relationship with someone always on the go – this music video explores carefree times on the road with a lover to lonely moments filled with reflection and contemplation. Keyte states: 

"This video clip aims to invite the viewer into the intimate nature of everyday life and reveal the uncertainty of a relationship in flux - memory, reality, confusion and longing move in and out of focus throughout."

Check out the music video for ‘Travelling Woman’ below.

'Travelling Woman' has been the first new taste of music since her debut album release, 'Melaleuca' (2017) that saw Keyte nominated for Best FolkBest Female Artist and Best Release at the 2017 South Australian Music Awards.
