Ballymena’s Lilla Vargen has shared a video for her latest single Cold. “I wanted the video for ‘Cold’ to tell the story of abuse in relationships. This is a story that thousands of women are living every day. I’ve had similar experiences and wished that I could have looked at that relationship more objectively. Even if things look okay on the surface, it doesn’t mean they are” explains Lilla, of the thought provoking single.

The video for Cold was directed by award-winning Irish director Locky who has previously directed videos for Daithi and Paul Noonan and the infamous “Filling Cabinet” Donegal Catch advert.

“As soon as I heard the track I knew I wanted to focus on the minutiae of an abusive relationship. I wanted this to be an exploration of a toxic relationship; an introspective where we clearly see one person in a dominant and controlling role over the other. Jordanne and Ben really carry us through this story beautifully. There’s an interesting dynamic between their characters…  I wanted to do this without every showing any of the actual abuse. Abuse comes in all shapes and sizes” explains Locky.

The video for cold stars Jordanne Jones (Screen Daily Stars of Tomorrow 2019) who has starred in the films ‘Metal Heart’ and ‘I Used To Live Here’ and will feature in the upcoming American TV series ‘The Angel of Darkness’.“
