The new music video for “Dream Girl in Shibuya” from Hayley Williams was released Nov. 7. “Dream Girl in Shibuya” is a single from her third solo studio album. The music video marked the one-year anniversary of the album.
“Dream Girl in Shibuya” is an intimate black-and-white video with Williams going through her routine in a hotel room while on tour. It shows how regular tour life is without the glamorous parties and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyles. It shows that sometimes you’re by yourself in a hotel room and that it can be lonely while you’re away from your friends and family.
The music video for “Dream Girl in Shibuya” captures the feeling of loneliness by showing Williams by herself throughout the whole video. She’s going through her daily routine while on tour, with nothing held back, from getting to the hotel room to going to sleep and turning off the light.
The “Dream Girl in Shibuya” track complements the video by being slow and dragged out, creating a feeling of isolation, with the vocals being up front and personal, showing listeners Williams’ perspective of tour life rather than glamorizing it.
