Cinematic recording artist Goldie Boutilier makes a bold and deeply felt return with a stunning new music video for her vibrant new single "How To Be A Lover" — a release that feels like one of the most fully realised and emotionally charged moments of her career to date. With an instinct for the dramatic and a voice built for exactly this kind of music, Boutilier channels the spirit of 80s power ballads with a conviction and authenticity that feels less like nostalgia and more like a natural creative home.
"How To Be A Lover" arrives drenched in all the hallmarks of the era it draws from — sweeping, cinematic production, soaring vocal dynamics, and an emotional intensity that grabs you by the chest and refuses to let go. But in Boutilier's hands, the influence never feels like imitation. Instead, she takes the raw emotional architecture of the 80s power ballad and filters it through her own singular artistic lens, creating something that feels at once timeless and entirely contemporary.
The music video serves as a worthy visual companion to the track — grand in scale, deeply personal in feeling, and shot with the kind of cinematic eye that has always set Boutilier apart from her contemporaries. Every frame feels intentional, every image chosen to amplify the emotional world of the song rather than simply illustrate it.
"How To Be A Lover" is the kind of record that reminds you of the enduring power of a truly great vocal performance married to a production that gives it room to breathe and soar. For Goldie Boutilier, it feels like a defining moment — an artist arriving at the fullest, most confident expression of who she is and what she is capable of, and inviting the world to witness it.

Take me from the surface
And into the dirt
I'm looking for a purpose
And searching hurts
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
Show me where the edge is
Point me to the flaw
And I’ll tell you why I can't go back to Arkansas
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
What can I do for you?
Tenderness has fallen out of use
You could bring it back and make it new
Teach you how to touch her
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
Take your time
Chivalry has gotten hard to find
When you tell the truth it’s in your eyes
I know you’ve got the hunger
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
Tell me that I’m always
On your mind
Tell me that without me
You would die
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
Tell me I’m your future
Say it twice
When everything is chaos
We’ve got paradise
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
What can I do for you?
Tenderness has fallen out of use
You could bring it back and make it new
Teach you how to touch her
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
Take your time
Chivalry has gotten hard to find
When you tell the truth it’s in your eyes
I know you’ve got the hunger
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
Can you give me a taste of sympathy
Just a drop to clear my memory
My favorite words
Are “I got you baby, I’m sorry, sorry...
What can I do for you ?
Tenderness has fallen out of use
You could bring it back and make it new
Teach you how to touch her
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
Take your time
Chivalry has
gotten hard to find
When you tell the truth it’s in your eyes
I know you’ve got the hunger
How to be a lover
How to be a lover
