CYN shared a music video for her latest release, “Terrible Ideas.” The video was directed by Quinn Wilson and made in partnership with Chanel Beauty. “I wanted to bring the intimacy forward,” Wilson says. “I think that comes across most in the hyperclose-ups of CYN and between moments of her touching the lens. She’s so present in front of the viewer, looking at us straight on for the majority of the video.” The track is available to purchase here.
