Former Everything But the Girl vocalist and Massive Attack collaborator Tracey Thorn is released a new solo album, Record, today via Merge. Previously she shared a video for its first single, “Queen,” and the audio for another song from the album, the eight-minute long “Sister,” which features guest vocals from Corinne Bailey Rae. Now the radio edit of “Sister” has a video. Watch it below.

Thorn had this to say about the video in a press release: “Filmed in London, it features me singing alongside an intergenerational cast of amazing women: Caroline, Ameera, Kate, and Daniella. Press play!”

Thorn also had this to say about the song in a previous press release: “It’s full of lyrics about female solidarity and defiance-a heartfelt anthem for the dancefloor.”

Record is Thorn’s first album of entirely original material in seven years. In a previous press release Thorn joked that the album contains “nine feminist bangers.”

“I think I’ve always written songs which chronicle the milestones of a woman’s life,” she elaborated. “Different ages and stages, different realities not often discussed in pop lyrics. If 2010’s Love and Its Opposite was my mid-life album-full of divorce and hormones-then Record represents that sense of liberation that comes in the aftermath, from embarking on a whole new ‘no fucks given’ phase of life.”

Each preorder of the album comes with a Tracey Thorn zine featuring “20 pages of handwritten lyrics and photos from the recording sessions.”
