Marketa Irglova Gets Empowered by Otis Redding for 'Go Back' -- Video Premiere

Marketa Irglova was thrust into the spotlight after her role in the breakout musical hit 'Once.' One Academy Award and several years later, she's readying her debut solo album 'Anar' for release on Oct. 11, but first she's giving fans a taste of the new material with her video for 'Go Back.'

Irglova drew inspiration from the album while moving from Ireland to New York City and cites influences as disparate as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds to the 'Jesus Christ Superstar' soundtrack. Fans of 'Once' or her collaboration with Glen Hansard, the Swell Season, will not be disappointed.

"'Go Back' was inspired by Otis Redding," Irglova tells Spinner. "it's about self empowerment in at a time of being tested."

The video for the R&B-inflected 'Go Back' is a striking montage of backwards footage and makes everyday images seem curiously out of place. Unsurprisingly, it shares little in common with Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Otis.' Check out the exclusive premiere below and catch Irglova on tour in Europe and North America this fall.
