Naarm-Melbourne singer-songwriter Connor Black-Harry has me swooning with his folky new single “Stupid Monkey.” It’s an intimate song crafted in his bedroom studio accompanied by a beautiful film clip, directed by Michael Ridley, shot in Connor’s hometown and during his recent road trip to Yuin Country/Tomakin, New South Wales.
“Everyone knows how it feels to have an insistent weight on their shoulders or a monkey on their back. ‘Stupid Monkey’ explores the rude realisation that the process of healing and growth is a messy, frustrating, and yet finally, ultimately cathartic,” Connor explained.
“Stupid Monkey” is Connor’s first release since 2020, so hopefully he won’t leave us waiting so long for the follow-up!
