Scout Durwood Shares 'Take One Thing Off' Video; Album Out 5/19

Actor, comedian and singer, there's not much Scout Durwood can't do. Starting as a story about a kid who wore a tiara to school everyday and learned her greatest quality was being different, Scout is ready to release her debut album, Take One Thing Off on May 19 via Blue Élan Records, but not before giving another taste of the release by premeiring the video for the title track exclusively with After Ellen.

The energetic and colorful video, according to Scout, "Is the same balance of controlled chaos I like to have onstage and is the brainchild of Sammi Cohen and Sarah King. We wanted something colorful, queer and just left of center." The clip hits all of that, as well as finally allows Scout to become the pop star she wanted to watch growing up: a proudly queer yet powerful woman whose message rings loud and clear.

Produced by Dave Darling (Def Leppard, Queen Latifah, Tom Waits, Brian Setzer), the 19-track album intermingles a hysterical standup set taped at the underground Los Angeles club The Pack with songs, "loosely mapped over my life in New York," says Scout.

In between making Take One Thing Off, Durwood turned heads as a main character on MTV's 2016 breakout Mary + Jane executive produced by Snoop Dogg. The Hollywood Reporter claimed, "Durwood commits with gusto," Vogue called her, "Brazen, brass," and The Los Angeles Times lauded the series', "sharp satirical observations about stoner culture, celebrity, the Siler Lake lifestyle, and female friendships."
