Rising songstress Jessie Murph has sparked fury with her expletive-filled and X-rated music video for 1965, which includes lyrics dealing with domestic violence
A singer has caused outrage with her latest music video, which features a graphic sex scene and themes of domestic violence. Jessie Murph, who has been compared to Amy Winehouse, released the video for 1965 earlier this month. However its lyrics and imagery have left some fans begging her to “unrelease” it.
The lyrics include the line “I might get a little slap-slap, but you wouldn’t hit me on Snapchat” before suggesting she wants a relationship with a man twice her age. But most shocking is when a man and a woman, who is made up to look like Jessie, are seen in a sex scene, albeit slightly blurred, behind her as she sings.
The video, which comes with a warning on YouTube that it may be unsuitable for some viewers, has racked up more than 7.6million views since it was released a few weeks ago.
One scene shows Jessie, 20, tied up on a sofa. And others have taken offence that a child is in the video moments before the sex scene.
Writing in the comments, one person said: “The way my jaw dropped to the floor, there’s still time to unrelease this.”
Another said: “The fact it’s been five days or whatever since the video had been uploaded and YouTube still hasn’t blurred that out is crazy work.”
Someone else said: “I didn’t think it would be this bad. I am forever traumatised this is diabolical.”
Others asked how “pornography” was allowed on YouTube.
The song is taken from Jessie’s second album Sex Hysteria.
It is a love letter to romance of the 1960s, however she appears to admit it would set her back in terms of her social standing.
Another lyric says: “I think I’d give up a few rights / If you would just love me like it’s 1965.”
Jessie said in a recent interview with Teen Vogue: “I’m glad that I make people have some sort of reaction. I’d rather them be like, ‘I hate you,’ or, ‘I love you,’ rather than, ‘I feel indifferently,’ I guess.
“But still, I just find it f****** weird … I don’t have any hate in my heart … That’s been something that I’ve been trying to figure out how to navigate and not react and get mad because it totally makes me be like, ‘F*** you b****.”
Jessie rose to prominence after uploading videos on TikTok and YouTube, with her music including elements of country, pop and hip-hop.
