Sombr’s just like us — apparently he also can’t get enough of Obsession and Off Campus.
The 20-year-old singer-songwriter released his new music for “My Body Isn’t Ready” on Thursday, which featured a few famous faces. Josh Heuston, who played college band frontman Justin in Prime Video’s hit romance show Off Campus, and Inde Navarrette, the breakout star of Curry Barker’s surprise box office hit Obsession, star alongside Sombr in the video.
The over-four-minute music video starts off with Sombr walking up to a Hollywood Hills house party and finds Heuston showing off his new art piece while Navarrette sits by the pool eating watermelon. Navarrette and Sombr meet as he builds towards the chorus. The singer looks to camera throughout the video while he belts the song’s thesis: “I like you, but my body isn’t ready / I want you, but the mirror won’t let me / I try to be the person you’re expecting / But I’m not ready, I’m not ready.”
Navarrette and Sombr fall in love over the course of the cinematic music video. At one point, he ends up in a full body cast, and of course, she’s the only one who really sees him as him. The video was directed by Gus Black.
The new song, which he wrote and co-produced, and its accompanying video are quite vulnerable and raw. While the video shows an eventual love story, it seems to focus more on the singer’s own perception of himself, with several shots of him looking in the mirror. It’s a bit of a departure from his last two music videos “Potential” and “Homewrecker,” which lean more on the groovier side.
Sombr is slated to be the interview and musical guest on Thursday’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
