“Filming the music video for this song was a blast! My videographers, Travis Flynn and Justin Mayotte, really helped bring this song to life. It was a hard concept to pull off because of the amount of editing but they worked their magic. We really wanted to capture the idea that with every sip of whiskey, the memories of her past relationship begin fading back in. I was actually drinking whiskey the whole time because I wanted it to be real, so some might say I had a little too much fun on set! I love this song and am excited to see what people think of the music video.” says Karissa Ella.
Karissa shines through in this video with strong vocals and an emotional presence. All is well until the initial high of a glass of whiskey wears off. The feelings of the past come flooding back, and you find yourself missing what once was. Written by Karissa, Conner Sweet and Lydia Dall, this new release is a song in which we can all relate to. Karissa’s new single has garnered tens of thousands of streams since its release and has received support from Apple’s New In Country and Soundcheck, Spotify’s Fresh Finds Country and Amazon’s Breakthrough Country.
