Shea Couleé Has Moves and Regrets in Dramatic New "Rewind" Music Video

"It's such a weird heartbreak because there's so many unanswered questions."

Shea Couleé continues their streak of breathtaking music videos with their latest single, "Rewind."

"It has a very cinematic quality to match the cinematic quality of the song," Shea tells Billboard about the moody music video. "And it's kind of a glimpse into my life and my past." The song speaks to "the concept of rewinding, as if our lives were films that we have the ability to go back and re-do."

The video features Shea, in and out of drag, reliving a tumultuous relationship inspired by a real-life partner.

"The fans had only seen this high-energy, dance-y, confident music [from me] and this was my opportunity to show a little bit of vulnerability," the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9 finalist explains. "The only relationship I ever had, other than the one I'm in now, he suffered from bipolar disorder and he wound up taking his life. It's really, really hard. It's such a weird heartbreak because there's so many unanswered questions."

"I enjoy being able to surprise people and reveal my different sides to them—sometimes people only see a certain side, and music allows yourself to express yourself a bit more."

Earlier this year Shea opened up to Gay Times about coming out as nonbinary: “I would say I probably started to question it maybe two or three years into drag. Doing it full-time, there’s all these elements of feminine presentation that we do in our art-form that didn’t feel presentational, it felt authentic."

"I started to realize that I did not land on the gender binary spectrum," Shea continued. "Through research and reading about other gender nonconforming and nonbinary people, I started to understand."
