Fresh off the release of her new album and debut for Arts & Crafts, Fine But Dying, Liza Anne unveils the official music video for standout single “Small Talks”. Following a miffed Liza as she attempts to evade the droning chit-chat of her peers, the video is a caustic tale of the maddening nature of Southern hospitality.
"I've always been exhausted by the strange interactions you have with people where it seems like both of you are wanting a way out”, says Liza Anne. “‘Small Talks’ is my confrontation of southern hospitality and the sour role it plays in relational well being. We should all be straightforward with each other and not kill a situation with fake nice. Sometimes there is nothing to say and that's fine.”
Of the video, director Josh Gilligan says "Brett Warren (art director) and I wanted to create a party that painted a picture of the rampant insincerity Liza refers to in ‘Small Talks’. Empty coffee invites, courtesy laughs, people pleasing. The video is tongue-in-cheek, a bit of satire. Everyone's having a good time, getting tipsy, ‘networking’ and whatever else. We want you to see right through it."

“Small Talks”, which Stereogum called a “hard-charging rocker,” is one of the grittiest tracks on Fine But Dying. Released on March 9, the album received plaudits from NPR Music, who dubbed Liza's sound "internal warfare, externalized...bold in both sound and subject," and EARMILK, who likened the record to "poetry that conjures inward contemplations of love, past experiences and raw moments of living with alarming clarity.” Further accolades came from Billboard, who recently chatted with Liza about Fine But Dying while praising the album for its "unapologetic" lyrical style.
