Nnamdï’s new album, Please Have a Seat, is out today (October 7), and, along with the album, the Chicago musician has released the new music video for the song “Touchdown.” Directed by Sandy Honig, the video stars Saturday Night Live cast member Sarah Squirm, alongside other comedians like Mitra Jouhari, Alyssa Stonoha, Nate Varrone, and more. Watch below.
“This is my first time directing a music video and I’m very excited for everyone to see ‘Touchdown,’” Honig shared in a statement. “Collaborating with Nnamdï was incredible, he gave me free rein to bring his vision to life, and the cast is full of the best comedians who have been working together in different contexts for years: SNL’s Sarah Sherman and her frequent collaborators from their Chicago days, my Three Busy Debras sisters Mitra & Alyssa, and brilliant local actors we found on Craigslist. Everyone brought their unique sensibilities to this and I got to experiment visually in a way I haven’t on other projects. The video was shot very run-and-gun in one day and we got to find the beauty in the moment. I hope the silliness and fun we had making this comes through when watching it!”
