Simone Reyes releases “Priceless” – a song about heartache, courage, revenge and the importance of finding just the right dress to wear when you see your ex.
New Country Artist and former hip hop executive/ right hand to music mogul Russell Simmons / ex-reality star, (and Idyllwind fan) Simone Reyes releases a follow up single/video to her debut single entitled “ Priceless “ clad in an Idyllwind dress that deliverers a punch to her ex.
“When I was first presented with the song, I was immediately drawn to the extremely relatable storyline about a woman who got dumped and then had to summon up the courage to go on with her life and get back out in the world -even when that means being in the same room as her ex and his new love interest. I don’t think there is a person on earth who hasn’t been in a similar predicament. I loved the original lyrics which were “ spent a hundred dollars on this mini black dress – it was worth it “ because we all want to look our best when these uncomfortable (but often inevitable events) present themselves in our lives. But I knew the dress had to be really killer because if a woman has the right dress she can rule the world – and for us country girls that often means an Idyllwind dress. Miranda Lambert knows how to dress her girls right. ” said Simone Reyes. “I changed the lyric adding in the Idyllwind reference and dressed up the outfit with a pair of earrings from the line because her stuff is so reasonably priced I knew the character would have a bit of cash left over with that hundred bucks. “
If a woman has the right dress she can rule the world”— Simone Reyes
Reyes emphasized that she is “ just a mega fan” of the clothing line and Miranda Lambert and not affiliated with the brand in any way. “ Before we shot the video, I walked into a local Boot Barn and purchased the dress just like everybody else does- worth every penny! ” she added.
