BB Sway 'Why'd You Think I Called You On The Phone?' by Emmanuel Li, Rosen Stanley Greengrass
Rob Ulitski - 1st Apr 2025
Emmanuel Li & Rosen Stanley Greengrass direct an evocative promo for BB Sway, the solo project of 24-year-old artist, writer and producer Ash Johnston.Â
The video for Why'd You Think I Called You On The Phone? sees BB procrastinate on an important phone call, before entering an abstract realm that amplifies his insecurities and self doubt.Â
With a neon-drenched aesthetic and dreamy, lingering shots, the video is influenced by the aesthetics of East Asian cinema and the peculiar expressivity of clowning to depict a queer narrative.Â
An absorbing work, nicely attuned to the nostalgic orchestral pop stylings of the track.
