Soul-pop artist Ray Hodge premiered his new music video for “If It’s Easy,” off his debut EP “Braveheart,” today via Earmilk. The video, directed by Alexa San Román (HEIRSOUND; Love, Robot), is dedicated to “the one who broke my heart — love is hard, but we don’t want it if it’s easy.” Singing with his face to the ground, Hodge rises, cloaked in color, for an explosive chorus and a powerful message:
‘If it’s Easy’ is a song about making what you believe in come true. It’s about saying to oneself ‘I am taking hold of my own destiny, I am someone. I am and will be loved.’ This song is about the adventure and struggle to love. The music video I made with Alexa San Román and wanted to dedicate it to someone I love so very much, the only one who could ever break my heart. It’s about the different phases I went through during our breakup. Feeling dead and confused, lost…thinking about if they felt the same way too. But at some point it came to me, I need to get up and stop beating myself up and laying here wondering. If it is truly meant to be it shall be. Finding your own beat to life after sharing it is hard, but one way or another we all seem to bounce back. – Ray Hodge
