Finneas Delivers an Ode to the Unrequited High School Crush on New Song ‘Cleats’
Finneas has penned a new ode to unrequited teenage love, 'Cleats,' the latest offering from his upcoming solo album, 'For Cryin' Out Loud.'
The sweet, but bouncy indie pop tune finds Finneas singing about a situationship stuffed with all kinds of signs it’s not going to blossom into anything romantic (chief among them, “She plays for a different team”). In the “Cleats” music video, directed by Isaac Ravishankara, this high school romantic drama/comedy plays out in the background of a bedroom, while a miniaturized Finneas performs the song and watches the proceedings.After the boy takes his shot with a kiss, the girl quickly grabs her keys and leaves. In an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year, Finneas spoke about making Optimist “alone in a room,” which was somewhat satisfying, but also “really lonely.” He continued: “I didn’t feel like, ‘This is the best possible way it could sound, I’m so glad I made it alone.’ I thought I did an OK job.
