It's been a minute since we awarded Bernadette Seacrest best vocalist in our 2007 Best of Atlanta issue.

But apparently, ain't a damn thang changed. In her debut video — meaning, this is her first real music video and not just a recording of a live stage performance — the Atlanta-based swing noir singer comes off like one spicy milf. (Actually, scratch that, I don't even know if she's a mom.) Directed by Ramsey D. Yount (with Jon Milavec pitching in on cinematography), the video for "Where Does It Hurt" captures Seacrest's seductive, haunting vocal delivery in a visual statement that makes her tatted-up sass and humor the star of the show.

Yeah, I'm in love.

And songwriter/guitarist/collaborator Charles Williams' lyrical treatment burns a happy hole in my heart. If you're not familiar with Seacrest, her story is as amazing as her, well, everything else: Check out Chad Rad's two-year-old feature on Seacrest and Her Provocateurs 2010 release The Filthy South Sessions.
