Twinnie Shares Most Relatable Song Of 2020 – ‘This Year Sucks’

Having teased the track ‘This Year Sucks’ across her growing TikTok platform on Wednesday, September 8th, rising superstar Twinnie has now shared the full-length song and video across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the clip bringing to life everything we have been going through whilst in lockdown.

The quirky tongue-in-cheek lyrics poke fun at the isolation situation, and was penned by the York country-pop singer/songwriter alongside Summer Overstreet to bring a little light relief to the dark days we are currently going through whilst also shining a light on the fact we have seen people come together like never before during the crisis.

The colorful video meanwhile brings the pandemic issues to the forefront with clips filmed at the supermarket featuring toilet paper, and of course hand sanitizer and face masks while more poignant clips such as face timing friends, and seeing loved ones through a window shine a light on the tough parts we have been through so far.

I think we can all agree, for the most part, this year has been shitty, BUT there has been so much good and positivity in these weird times. We’ve seen people come together in solidarity to fight for a better world, the earth started healing, & so many people risked their lives to help others. We saw the best of humanity! I hope it is a better world when we finally come out the other side of this. I wrote this song with @summeroverstreet a fantastic artist & songwriter. I’d like to thank her & all the extremely talented songwriters that have kept me sane in this time. Sorry about the profanity in this song. I hope ya forgive me & this makes you smile. Life is too short to take yourself too seriously. So, until the music industry resumes to normality, I’ll be producing songs & making videos with my mum in my garden. Tag someone that made you smile in 2020!!! (All of you made me smile but I can’t tag you all) Music by me @barnabas.shaw Written by me & @summeroverstreet Directed by me Shot & edited by @itsnaomikane

The video was filmed by British photographer and videography Naomi Kane who expertly creates a stellar visual for the lyrical story of ‘This Year Sucks’ and makes sure there’s a feel-good, fun vibe running through that also signals to light at the end of the tunnel as we navigate through COVID-19 together.

Speaking about working on the video, Naomi Kane says: “When Twinnie spoke to me about the song she’d written with Summer and how much we were both missing working we knew we wanted to make a video! It was an interesting one figuring out the logistics of making a music video whilst also keeping safe and social distancing etc so I bought a TONNE of antibacterial stuff, got a mask, and away we went! It was shot in York on the same day we had the heatwave last month. We tried to include parts of the crazy COVID has brought to us all Toilet roll shortage, wearing a mask when you’re good shopping, and finding ways to entertain yourselves at home!”
