Porches, a.k.a. Aaron Maine, dances with his therapist in the new video for “Do U Wanna.” The track is the first single off the synth-pop artist’s upcoming LP, Ricky Music, out March 13th via Domino Records.
Directed by Maine and Nick Harwood, the dreamy clip opens with Maine in the middle of a session with his therapist, as they trade off singing the song’s lines to each other: “I think I wanna dance/Do you wanna/Do you wanna dance?”
“‘Do U Wanna’ is a song about looking at yourself and realizing the disparity between how you’d like to act and how you actually act,” Maine said in a statement. “The fun you vs. the isolated you. I feel like with the refrain I’m almost taunting myself to get up and do something.”
Ricky Music follows 2018’s The House. Maine will embark on a North American tour in support of the record this spring, kicking off at the Broadberry in Richmond, Virginia, on March 23rd and wrapping up at New York’s Webster Hall on April 29th.
