EXCLUSIVE – Denise Richards steps back into the limelight with an emotionally layered performance in the music video for “Gray Again,” a soulful ballad co-written and performed by actor-musician Patrick Muldoon and composer Neil G. Ives.
Directed by Shaun Piccinino, the cinematic short reintroduces Richards and Muldoon—former real-life partners and longtime friends—as on-screen collaborators. The result? A stirring, noir-inspired music video that explores heartbreak, reflection, and emotional healing.
A Cinematic Reunion With Emotional Weight
Shot with moody, muted tones by director of photography Brad Rushing, “Gray Again” leans heavily into visual storytelling. The use of shadow, texture, and subtle movement gives the video a filmic quality rarely seen in traditional music videos.
Piccinino, known for directing projects like American Fighter and A California Christmas, took on triple duties as director, editor, and colorist, ensuring a cohesive creative vision.
“Had an absolute blast directing my good friend, actor and recording artist @thepatrickmuldoon’s music video for ‘Gray Again’ which starred the impeccable & wonderful @deniserichards,”
He also gave credit to the powerhouse crew behind the project, including:
- Brad Rushing (Director of Photography)
- Leonardo Cecchi
- Christy Cat
- Amy Ann Chernikova
- Traci Johnson Productions
- Lyra Piccinino
Featured in Denise Richards’ New E! Reality Series
The release of “Gray Again” coincides with its premiere in an episode of E!’s reality series, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, offering fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the video’s production and the emotional layers behind the collaboration.
In a candid moment on the show, Richards opened up about her past decision to distance herself from Muldoon during her marriage to Charlie Sheen, out of respect for Sheen’s discomfort with their friendship. Today, with her husband Aaron Phypers’ full support, she’s reconnecting with her creative past and personal friendships.
