LIZ COOPER / ‘HOT SASS’ NEW ALBUM OUT NOW / NEW VIDEO

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Liz Cooper has released the official video for ‘Motorcycle’. Directed by Jacq Justice, the video was filmed at various locations across New York City and is now available

 Of the video, Cooper shares, “This video was made in a spur of the moment creative frenzy in my Brooklyn apartment and across Manhattan. Shot and directed by Jacq Justice, we painted my body to match a doll who represents my alter ego and painted the town red.”

‘Motorcycle’ is from Cooper’s critically acclaimed new album, Hot Sass, which was released earlier this month via Thirty Tigers and available to stream/purchase HERE. Produced by Benny Yurco (Michael Nau, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals), mixed by Dan Molad (Lucius, Emily King) and recorded live at Little Jamaica Recordings in Burlington, Vermont. Hot Sass marks multiple departures for Cooper—from her nine-year home of Nashville, from her band addendum of the Stampede, and from the genre-based expectations she’s accumulated throughout her career. With these twelve new songs, Cooper comes into her own—both musically and as a person—embracing a newfound sense of independence, honesty, maturity and creativity.

Reflecting on the album, Cooper shares, “It’s me learning about what kind of woman I am and it’s not pretty all the time…I’m still processing these songs. Still reflecting. And I think that’s the thing—Hot Sass is just a stamp in time of what was happening in my life. I just want to continue making art that displays myself, the moments, and the people around me.”

In addition to Cooper and Yurco, Hot Sass also features Cooper’s longtime bandmates and collaborators Joe Bisirri (bass), Ryan Usher (drums, percussion) and Michael Libramento (guitar, synthesizer).
