ELIZABETH PREMIERES VIDEO FOR ‘GO YOUR OWN WAY’ VIA EARMILK + NOMINATED FOR THREE MUSIC VICTORIA AWARDS
Today Elizabeth shares the captivating video for her cover of Fleetwood Mac's song 'Go Your Own Way'. The video premiered overnight on Earmilk who said:
"Melbourne based singer/songwriter Elizabeth isn’t afraid to go where others won’t. Whether it’s with her music, or generally in her approach to the world, Elizabeth does what she wants and she does it well. Her latest release is an example of both her eagerness and ability to truly conquer, delivering her own take on Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way.” The song awe-inspiring for people around the world, and Elizabeth does it justice. Her powerful but gentle vocals breathe new life into the 70s song, while the minimalist approach allows the lyrics to shine and the heartbreaking story to be told."

The video was masterfully co-directed & edited by Elizabeth herself and co-directed shot by frequent collaborator Xanthe Dobbie. Featuring Elizabeth herself and reflective and dreamlike visuals of tarot cards, family photos, flowers and snippets of life in isolation, the video manages to capture the introspection that the cover masters.
Elizabeth on shooting this gorgeous video in lockdown:
"Welcome to my isolation world. so much alone time with precious things, thinking about what I have lost and how I have grown from it <3"
Putting aside her pop sensibilities on Go Your Own Way, Elizabeth takes an introspective turn that cuts to the bone, the first taste of the new bonus tracks from the deluxe album. Stark, yet soaring, Elizabeth turns the beloved song on its head, showing her clear mastery when it comes to making gut-wrenching music her own, even when it isn’t. Elizabeth wounds with one note and provides a salve with the next, a drama queen has never felt this persona
The cover was the first taste of Elizabeth's deluxe version of her critically acclaimed 2019 debut album The Wonderful World of Nature which will be released on Friday 23rd of October 2020.
The video heralds the news that last week Elizabeth received three nominations in this year's Music Victoria Awards for Best Breakthrough Act, Best Solo Artists and Best Album.
