Pop Evil will release the video for their latest single, “Work,” today at 12 p.m. ET on the band's YouTube channel. The global pandemic made things tough for the band to film a video, so they did the next best thing, which, as frontman Leigh Kataky tells us, was a first for them: “With the pandemic thing being what it is it's so hard to get everyone together. There weren't many options for us to do a video these days so, especially again with everything going, so we just felt like a great opportunity for us to have a cartoon animated video and our first one at that so we were definitely excited. They did an awesome job putting it together and I'm excited for Friday when everyone can see it.”
The message in the song “Work” continues a theme Pop Evil started on their self-titled 2018 album and is especially meaningful these days. “It's about standing up (and) finally finding that inner lion, something that we started all the way from 'Waking Lions' on the last record to this album. It's just finding out who you are, putting the ball in your court and finding the strength to overcome, you know, and I think now more than ever people overcome. They do it via their their radios, they do it via their playlists, they do it with music.”
“Work” is the debut release from Pop Evil's upcoming sixth studio album, due out this year.
