Equal parts catchy and heart-rending, the newest video from Maximillian elevates the honest track to new heights with its stunning visuals.

Young Danish artist Maximillian wears his heart on his sleeve in his newest video for his track Beautiful Scars. Bringing in a maturity beyond his age, there’s a vulnerability within his lyricism that allows listeners a glimpse into his innermost thoughts. The stunning video sees Maximillian collaborating with Emil Wergeland, an acclaimed short movie director, and depicts budding romance and summery scenes that will evoke all the warmth within you.

Subtle electronic beats mellifluously wash into emotionally charged vocals to deliver a raw performance, and there is some power to be found within this rawness despite the lightness of the sonics. Not one to shy away from his character, Maximillian declares “I’m not gonna fight back what I’ve become” and there’s an admirable confidence to be found within the velvety voice that tells the story.

Maximillian explains of the track:

I made a lot of bad decisions growing up. I hung out with the wrong people and did a lot of things I regret. I literally lived my life on the edge at the age of 13 and ‘Beautiful Scars’ is me learning to deal and live with my flaws.
