The track is accompanied by a stunning video, directed by Hammond, and inspired by the movie Midsommar. The video captures K.K.’s usual horror vibe, while also being “super pretty and ethereal.”To mark this exciting occasion, K.K. has also decided to include a remixed and remastered version of her popular 2021 cover of “In the Pines,” as the single’s B-side.K.K. Hammond says, “This old folk song was famously covered not only by Lead Belly and others but also Nirvana themselves as ‘Where Did You Sleep Last Night.’ With that in mind, ‘In the Pines’ was an exciting and obvious choice to accompany ‘Heart Shaped Box.”The new single and video come on the heels of K.K.’s biggest success to date: the huge success of her debut album “Death Roll Blues,” earlier this year. The collection sold out in pre-order (becoming the 3rd best-selling Blues pre-sale of all time!) and topped the UK and US iTunes Blues charts, while hitting number 12 and 18 in their respective mainstream charts. The album debuted on the US Billboard Blues Albums chart at #7!
Since then, KK has earned a passionate and loyal fanbase, with her performance (with Rapkin) of “Nothing Else Matters” being shared by Metallica on their official TikTok. She also counts Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory among her fans.
