Sombr Releases Vulnerable Single 'My Body Isn't Ready' With Star-Studded Video

The song frames Sombr's lifelong body-image struggles, featuring a Gus Black-directed video, a Tonight Show TV debut, a planned surprise New York performance, a lead-up to his second album and a summer North American tour.

Overview

  • Sombr released the single 'My Body Isn't Ready' this week and published a cinematic music video directed by Gus Black that stars Inde Navarrette and Josh Heuston.
  • The video depicts Sombr feeling out of place at a house party, using imagery such as papier-mâché and a full-body cast to dramatize shame before Navarrette's character helps him be seen.
  • Sombr performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the TV debut, which reinforced the song's personal message about body-image and insecurity.
  • The artist says he wrote and co-produced the track to address lifelong struggles with self-worth and hopes it will help others who face similar issues.
  • The single is presented as the third pre-album release and is tied to a concentrated promotional push that includes a yet-to-be-detailed surprise New York City performance and a North American tour starting July 22.
