GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, and author LeAnn Rimes has released the official music video for “spaceship,” taken from her recently released album god’s work (EverLe Records via Thirty Tigers/ The Orchard). To celebrate the launch, the video made its world premiere on CMT, with additional re-airs every hour throughout the day, along with premieres across MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop channels, and on the Paramount Times Square Billboards in New York City.
An emotional all-encompassing track, “spaceship” is a cathartic release for Rimes that taps into a full range of emotions including grief, sadness, anger, and hope. These raw emotions are ever-present in the intimate official video, which was spontaneously shot by her husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, on his iPhone in four takes and under 30 minutes while on an RV trip throughout California. The desolate desert background and simple brown blanket cloaking a bare Rimes allows for her gut-wrenching tears and soul-searching looks of hope to take centre stage as she belts the powerful lyrics. To top it off, an illuminated orb seemingly follows LeAnn as she trails out of the frame at the end of the video.
“The vulnerability that’s seen in the video really speaks to my own emotional connection with the song and the intention in which it was written,” LeAnn said. “When we were writing and working on the track, we were still in the midst of COVID and the feelings of isolation and despair were everywhere around us. While reflecting, I realised that there’s a lot of hope that comes from letting it all out and expressing these harder emotions. I think the song gives everyone permission to take time and really just have a moment of having it out with God, so we can move past it and get back to living life.”
Of the video, Cibrian added, “We were on our way back from Mammoth when I said we should stop in Alabama Hills to scout a possible location. Once we got there and found a spot, the sun was setting and there was something magical at that exact moment. We knew we needed to capture something then. It was intimate, emotional, and powerful. We only did four takes, which were a mix of sunset and sunrise to capture both sets of light. It all came together beautifully.”
