One interesting thing about this video is how well Mark Sonnenblik, the co-writer of "Golden," understands this is all EJAE's story and he's along for the ride on it. It's not that what he's done isn't important - he IS the co-writer, it wouldn't be the song it is without him - but that this is EJAE's moment as a singer and songwriter and it's okay for him to take a small step back and let her be the focus. It's generous and kind, and, also, savvy.
