Also out today is the video accompaniment for “Come Home” – a horror short directed by Machel Ross (who is also Softee’s fiancée) that begins as a lustful conjuring and divulges into an erotic bloodbath creatively inspired by modern genre classics like The Craft, Jennifer’s Body & Hellraiser, the work of director Mark Romenak (specifically Nine Inch Nails’ iconic “Closer” video), and the collective work of Brooklyn performance artist God Complex, who stars in the video alongside Grollman.

“The concept of devouring kept coming up,” said Softee about the video. “When lust is so powerful, it completely devours you. That’s what the song is about, and we wanted the video to reflect that in an interesting way. God Complex was in our conversation from the very beginning, because Machel (my fiancée and the director) and I are both huge fans of their drag. We landed on a concept that felt both campy and brutal: what if Softee’s lover was a demon? What if, when summoned, the demon devours her and becomes Softee? These are the images we ended up with, and it surprises me how romantic the final product ended up being."

Pre-release sister tracks “Molly” and “Red Light Green Light” both showcase the versatility of Softee, with the former capturing the passion & spontaneity of her first date with her fiancée (turning her bedroom into a dancefloor, recreated in the music video), and the latter utilizing a Squid Game sample and DIY on-the-street video to call out elitism and nepotism in modern society. Rolling Stone, Paper Magazine, & Billboard have already sung the praises of Softee, whose journey has taken her from a childhood spent singing karaoke in her parents’ basement and idolizing pop stars, to performing on Broadway with Denzel Washington in The Iceman Cometh, to this forthcoming album & uniquely refreshing era.
