Red hot new music video for ‘Karma’ out now!
Hayley is excited to reveal the brand new music video for her latest chart topping hit, ‘Karma’!
Premiering exclusively on CMT Australia on Monday 19 July at 9am, 12pm & 5pm followed by a music video special, with the Online Premiere presented by Countrytown on Tuesday 20 July at 9am. The video is now available to watch on Hayley’s YouTube Channel.
As the name suggests, Karma is a moody, brooding song, exploring the age-old spiritual concept or ‘what goes around comes around’ in the context of infidelity, where the mistress’s name is Karma, and so too is to be the outcome.
The “Sin City” style music video, produced and directed by multi-award-winning Duncan Toombs of The Filmery, stars actors Kristy Wordsworth and Paul Hughes playing an unfaithful, adulterous pair, passionate and mischievous, living on the edge, with no clue that Karma has her eye on them and is planning retribution.
In the video, Hayley plays the character of Karma, bringing the heat – and giving a new meaning to the old adage ‘if you play with fire, you will get burned‘ – when she catches the pair in the act and sets the adulterer’s prized possession, (his beloved car), up in flames.Hayley says: “My producer, Troy Kokol, and I had such a fun time creatively with Karma – pushing traditional boundaries with sounds, textures and samples – we really wanted to ensure that each component of the production itself matched the grit, intention and message behind the song – like a soundtrack. There’s even vocal samples in there that I recorded in the ‘voice memos’ of my phone – it just worked! And bringing the song to life in the music video with Duncan Toombs from The Filmery was incredible! I wanted the feature colour of red, and that almost black and white “Sin City” style treatment. The storyline Duncan developed captured all that mystery, tension and emotion. It’s hands down one of my favourite music videos!”
