Kelsey Lu Premieres FOREIGN CAR Video Directed by Vincent Haycock

Kelsey Lu unveils the video for "Foreign Car" today. The video is directed by Vincent Haycock(Florence + the Machine, Lana Del Rey, Paul McCartney) and filmed in the French countryside.

Additionally, Dropbox helped in the creation of two short films to document the making of "Foreign Car." The films give fans an inside look into the creation process through behind-the-scenes footage and candid interviews with Lu and the team of costume designers, choreographers and fellow artists and producers. The first film will be available for viewing beginning June 19 at 10am ET atdropbox.com/kelsey-lu while the second will be posted on June 26 at 10am ET.

"Foreign Car" is taken from Lu's debut album, Blood, out now on Columbia Records-listen here.Blood is receiving widespread acclaim with Hypebeast praising, "Nothing short of a menacing vision...the project revels in a sonic appetite that's bright with ideas and overflowing with vivid soundscapes," while The Wall Street Journal praises, "a strong individual vision with plenty of confidence."

Lu recently performed Arizona's FORM Festival where she debuted the Skrillex remix of "Due West" live-listen here. She also performed special shows in Japan and Australia, including Sydney's Vivid Festival where Lu scored the Lighting of the Sails with a film by director Andrew Thomas Huang. Further shows are slated this summer at Berlin's Berghain, London's Kings Placeand Brooklyn's Afropunk Festival.
