The Ready Set, aka Jordan Witzigreuter, returned with a new music video for recent track “Act 2” on December 8. The song comes from the artist’s October-released studio album Cherryland, which also features singles “Teammate,” “Who You Really Are,” and “Loose Change.”
The new Ryan Blewett-directed music video features an energetic Witzigreuter dancing around a white room. Fans have shared their adoration for how the artist draws myriad parallels to his previous work “Disappearing Act” from 2016’s I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love between the music video setting and lyrical callbacks. Witzigreuter sings, “Still in the place you found me, but I’m better than I was before/‘Cus you stuck around me/Now I don’t want to disappear, not anymore.” Check out the brand-new video below.
Maturing into synth-laden hyperpop sonics, The Ready Set always keeps it fresh throughout the new track, as well as Cherryland in full. Prior to the music video’s release, the artist also shared a snippet of a relaxed reimagining. In a recent Instagram post, he shared, “[C]hill version of act 2. [S]ounded kinda holiday-ish so you know I had to bring out the horn.”
On the Good Noise Podcast, Witzigreuter did confirm that he would “probably do some shows next year. I want to do some like release shows in a couple different places and do that thing where you play all the new album and then some old songs, too.”
This year, The Ready Set stunned fans new and old as he provided support for a few dates of the Boys Like Girls North American tour. Additionally, he recently appeared at Mike Fishkin‘s (idobi Radio) Fishmas celebration playing classic emo hits for partygoers. Fingers crossed that early 2024 brings Cherryland tour dates to towns near you!
