Sigrid’s ‘High Five’ Video Is A Little High School Musical, A Little E.T.
Sigrid makes a high school her stomping grounds (and her dance floor) in the new video for "
High Five," a fiery tell-off anthem that puts narcissists on blast.
The vid was directed by Ivana Bobic, who also worked with the Norwegian pop star on "
Strangers" and "
Raw." Their latest collab has a distinct coming-of-age vibe, with Sigrid dancing through school halls and residence parties, interrupting sports practices, and casually sticking her tongue out at boys.
The result is a little bit
High School Musical, a little bit
E.T. (there's a good homage to the '80s flick's classic bike-riding scene), as well as a whole lot of attitude. Check it out below.
In an interview about the video with
i-D, Bobic and Sigrid elaborated on their inspiration, with the director explaining, "Sigrid and I discussed a lot about the power of friendship. We love all of the high school movies, and Spielberg films like
E.T. or
Close Encounters that are in a magical world however also really they’re a metaphor for friendship."
"High Five" is the latest single from Sigrid's upcoming EP,
Raw, which also includes the self-assured title track and the emotional "I Don't wish to Know."
