As Terra Lightfoot’s New Mistakes tour continues to roll onward around the world, the artist released the third single from her critically acclaimed album, “Ruthless”. The single is paired with a video directed by Lightfoot’s trusted creative collaborator, director Dustin Rabin (Foo Fighters, Eagles of Death Metal, Billy Talent), who previously directed the videos for Lightfoot’s singles “Paradise” and “Pinball King”, and was also responsible for the album photography on New Mistakes (Sonic Unyon).
“It’s always amazing working with Dustin, but this was the most fun of any of our shoots,” says Lightfoot. “We hit it off when we first met, but over the past year of working together we’ve developed a real bond and a kind of shared language, so this video is more personal and unguarded than anything we’ve done befor
With “Ruthless”, Rabin captures Terra’s infectious personality and playful but voracious musical spirit, while also embodying the song’s themes of trust and human connection. The lyrics are especially resonant given her epic touring schedule, but Lightfoot has had a special connection to the song from the start.
“’Ruthless’ is the song I am most proud of on New Mistakes,” she says. “I think the whole album revolves around the ideas inside it, the constant travel, loving someone from afar, loving someone even when it gets messy… It’s still really tender for me when we play it live, even after singing it a thousand times. It’s about trust and believing that everything going to be fine.”
