Emerging country artist Belles has released the highly anticipated music video for her latest single, “Broken In Boots.” Out now on all streaming platforms, the track explores the raw emotional aftermath of heartbreak. The video, co-written and produced by Johnny Gates and directed by Sydney Tooley, visually amplifies the vulnerability and loneliness portrayed in the lyrics. Set on Nashville’s iconic Broadway, the video contrasts the city’s constant motion with Belles’ feeling of emotional stillness, offering a striking metaphor for the disorientation that follows lost love.
This new release follows the success of her previous single, “Happy Hour,” which also received a visually striking video treatment. Directed again by Tooley and shot at East Nashville’s Bowery Vault, “Happy Hour” tells the bittersweet story of longing for a fleeting moment of joy with someone from the past. With clever, poignant lyrics and a nostalgic sonic palette, the track captures the ache for emotional connection in a strained relationship. These releases continue to showcase Belles’ ability to blend vintage country sensibilities with modern emotional depth.
Leading up to “Broken In Boots,” Belles has released several other notable singles, including “Porcelain,” a delicate track that highlights emotional fragility. Its music video was featured on CMT Music’s 12-Pack Countdown, while her earlier single “What in the Truck” reached number 2 on the same list. Belles also performed “Porcelain” live on Today in Nashville, further establishing her as a captivating live act. Each of these releases demonstrates Belles’ growing versatility and presence in the modern country music landscape.
