Jenny Lewis has shared the video for her Beck-produced single "Just One of the Guys," off her upcoming album The Voyager, due out July 29 via Warner Bros. Co-starring in the video are A-list actresses Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart, and Brie Larson.
Lewis is dressed in a My Little Pony-esque bellbottom suit covered in rainbows, stars and clouds. Hathaway, Stewart, and Larson back her in all white suits and bare feet. Things start to get silly as the group dons jumpsuits and mustaches, pretending to be one of the guys.
"There's only one difference between you and me," Lewis sings, lamenting the perils of aging. "When I look at myself all I can see / I'm just another Lady without a baby."
In an interview with GQ, Lewis, who directed the clip, talked about filming the video and the inspiration behind the "guys" they impersonate.
"We screamed with laughter all day, huddled behind the monitor," Lewis told them. "I haven't laughed that hard since What About Bob? came out on laser disk."
As for Hathaway's rat tail:
"The rat tail was all Annie," Lewis said. "Deep character exploration. Her dude is a bit more Backstreet Boy than the rest. Melancholy Backstreet Boy is what I think she was going for-he really feels things deeply and break dances like a mother**ker. My dude is clearly the gnarliest. He's a total dick-like a mini Bonaduce/Durst hybrid."
