Julia Holter Is an International Woman of Mystery in ‘This Is a True Heart’ Video

Julia Holter, "This Is a True Heart," 'Loud City Song,' video

Julia Holter’s latest video from her Essential Loud City Song matches a lightly exotic musical style with a spy-movie theme. “This Is a True Heart,” we wrote, “flirts with easy-listening bossa nova” — but in an “eerie” way. Directed by Eugene Kotlayrenko, who captured the footage in Los Angeles’ port district and Bonaventure hotel, the video follows clips for “Maxim’s 1,” “In the Green Wild,” and “World.” Keep an eye, especially, on the gorgeous saxophone.

Still, we can’t help but wish the captioned dialogue included Belle and Sebastian’s opening gambit: “So how do we know each other? And how do you have my number?”
