Lil Peep’s posthumous EP Goth Angel Sinner has recently been released, alongside with the music video for the single “When I Lie”. The EP was announced in October 2017, just one month before the singer died from an overdose, aged 21.
The video, directed by Peep and Rayn, features the singer performing in a dark venue, maybe a bar. The clip was filmed in Hamburg, Germany, during the Come Over When You’re Sober tour.
Rayn talked about the making of the video in statement: “It was a spur of the moment video. As soon as someone from the venue led us down to the green room, Peep and I looked at each other and said we have to shoot a video here”.
He added: “It didn’t take long to decide what track to shoot as he had been playing ‘When I Lie’ on repeat most of the journey there. We decided to shoot a one take video as we had shot ‘4 Gold Chains’ as a one take in London and loved the way it came out”.
Following the artist’s death, Peep’s parents and management have been engaged in a legal battle against the rapper’s team for negligence. A new documentary about Peep artistic and personal life, Everybody’s Everything, is set to hit theaters on November 12. In the meantime, watch the new video for “When I Lie” below:
