New Release from Astrid S 'Hurts So Good' On Universal Music New Zealand

Norwegian pop star Astrid S releases her new single ‘Hurts So Good’ today, while she’s amidst her support slot on Troye Sivan’s sold out European tour.

The single is taken from her highly anticipated self-titled debut EP, out May 20th, of which Astrid S says: “I'm very excited to finally release this single from my debut EP. It shows another side of me, I think. It's more like a ballad, and the range in it is a little different than what I usually sing. I really like the song very much, and I hope you do too!”

The music video was directed by the acclaimed screenwriter and director, Andreas Öhman at
Naïve Studio in Sweden (watch it here). “It was a very cool experience to do this music video. I went to Stockholm for two days, and we filmed it by a beautiful summer house outside of the city, as well as in a studio. It felt so uncomfortable doing the scenes with the actor which depict the aspects of a complicated relationship reflected in the song’s lyrics. But after seeing the final result it was so worth it. I'm very happy with the video, and I think it suits both the song and me.”
