Watch the new music video for “It’s About Time!”, the title track from Future Star’s sophomore LP, out now on Mint Records.
The Steve Roste-directed music video captures future star’s live performance and features a cast of friends and family trust falling onto each other.
About the It’s About Time! Live Music Video
Video director Steve Roste on the video: “When I first listened to Celina's album It's About Time!, it reminded me that living a human life is less about tracing paths and eras forwards and backwards and more about the shapes those paths make and the interesting ways they crawl and fork and intersect, like arms or branches or something else that will catch you. It's all happening, has happened and will happen in one big leap backwards.”
Future Star on the video: “I was so excited when Steve told me about their idea for the music video - this song is about time (obviously) but it's also about connections, relationships, and trust,” says future star, “to me a trust fall is about giving up our ideas of control - we need to trust that when we fall into the arms of the passage of time, it will catch us and send us where we need to go. To have my family and friends catch me at the end of the song felt like an embodiment of what the song is about.”

Their most recent two albums, When Will The DJ Of Luv Grant Me My 1 Request (Kingfisher Bluez, 2021) and All Of These Songs Are About You (None Of These Songs Are About Me) (self-released, 2021), tell a satisfying story of queer longing and loneliness transformed into love and joy.
