Singer Kate Nash and artist Charlotte Colbert have teamed up to support the women’s team of Lewes FC, a football club making waves for “ground-breaking work on gender equality”. Nash, who wrote Foundations, the song that the Lionesses said they listened to on the bus before Women’s World Cup 2023, has written a bouncy new anthem titled Eyeconic. The song and its music video are released today, as revealed exclusively in the Evening Standard.
Colbert has designed t-shirts that feature her signature cartoon eyes, and which have See Us As We Are – the name of Lewes FC’s most recent campaign – written on the backs. “I’m so happy to be able to support Lewes FC – a club that is community-owned. It’s really inspiring,” said Colbert.
“My work is often about utopias and narratives, and how we can envisage positive alternative futures for ourselves. Lewes FC, with its ground-breaking work on gender equality for players, its catering to different demographics at the home ground, and its human-centred footballing strategy, is actively enacting the changes it advocates for.” Colbert and Nash are releasing a music video as part of their collaboration: “Eye-conic, she could be anything,” sings Nash in the upbeat song.
“She’s got it, but she’s on my team!” In the music video Lewes FC women’s team wear the Colbert-desinged football shirts, singing and playing in The Dripping Pan, Lewes’ brilliantly named stadium. Some shots are slowed down and colla.
