The song captures a youthful sentiment and sounds like an everlasting summer, with a shimmery, disco-infused pop beat pulsating throughout its duration.
Beks has garnered international radio success across the EU with ‘All The Good Boys Are Gay’, and is now set to bing her signature pop sound to a growing fan base.
Meanwhile, the ‘Young Forever’ music videos enters a Katy Perry-inspired world, where everything isn’t quite as it seems. . . Bringing the listeners into a colourful world of letting go.
“The music video has a lot of layers. My director and I worked closely to capture the feeling of youth, and of summer at the surface. Underneath, I’m leaning into my own fears about running out of time and not achieving everything I want to before it’s too late,” Beks says.
“At the beginning I’m dressed as an 85-year-old senior version of myself, and I drink the ‘Beks Energy’ drink and become young again. The drink is essentially a placebo, it has no real transformative ingredients or ability to time travel, it’s simply a state of mind and I think that’s powerful.
“It was so funny turning up to the carwash to recreate the petrol scene from ‘Zoolander’. People were actually washing their cars after work, minding their own business whilst we were sexualising sponges and water pressure hoses.”
Beks recently premiered ‘Young Forever’ at Suncorp Stadium, and played Brisbane’s Big Gay Day. She also spent the last four months in Europe, participating in the Monster/Guesstimate International Songwriting Camp where she played at the German Songwriting Awards at House Of Music.
‘Young Forever’ is out now.
