“È tornato Jackson Browne e nel video del nuovo singolo My Cleveland Heart compare Phoebe Bridgers. Il registro è ironico. Il video si apre con Browne che si appresta a subire un’operazione al cuore. Mentre lo portano in sala operatoria, lui continua a suonare la chitarra. Quando finisce sul tavolo operatorio di fronte a un gruppo di osservatori, appare Phoebe Bridgers vestita da infermiera, mangia il cuore di Browne che viene sostituito da un organo artificiale.

Phoebe Bridgers released a haunting, slowed down version of her Punisher single “Kyoto” earlier this year that featured harmonies from Jackson Browne. Now she’s appeared in his new video for “My Cleveland Heart,” which you can watch below. It was directed by Alissa Torvinen, who Browne chose for the job after seeing her video for another of Phoebe’s Punisher singles, “I Know The End,” and it features Browne undergoing heart surgery, and having his heart replaced with a shiny, gleaming artificial one. Phoebe plays a nurse, and there’s a shot of her clutching Browne’s old heart in the corner with blood on her mouth, suggesting she’s been eating it.”

“Phoebe Bridgers has a very special guest appearance in the music video for Jackson Browne’s new single “My Cleveland Heart.” The video — which was directed by Alissa Torvinen, who Browne picked after seeing the video she did for Bridgers’ “I Know The End” — begins with Browne being brought into an operating room to have heart surgery. Bridgers portrays one of the nurses and she ends up eating Browne’s heart off in a corner as he gets fitted with an artificial one.

“I thought it was really appropriate to take out my worn-out, useless heart and hand it to Phoebe,” Browne said to Rolling Stone. “Who better to hand [it] to than somebody young, strong, and possibly as cynical as me?””

Browne’s bandmates play doctors who remove the singer’s heart and substitute it with a high-tech artificial organ.

Jackson Browne has announced a new album, Downhill From Everywhere. The LP, his first in six years, will arrive on July 23.

“On the surface, it’s about living in L.A.,” Browne said in a press release. “But it’s really a metaphor for life itself. I adore this city, but I’ve been trying to leave since around the time I finished my first album. You can love and appreciate and depend on a life as you know it, but deep down you may also long for something else, even if you don’t know what it is.”
