Tia Carys - Intro [Video]

London rapper Tia Carys candidly explores the consequences of getting honest about her sexuality in her powerful new single ‘Intro’.

Sitting on her bed dressed regally in a black gown, Carys pens down her thoughts, scribbling at speed to keep up with the pace of them. She’s heartbroken, and this is her rhapsody - a lesson to be shared. Backed up by a string quartet and over a trap beat she performs directly to us, describing her tale of passion, love and loss. To make her story all the more dramatic, this is the first time Carys has fallen for a woman, and along with the heartbreak of the relationship ending, she must now process the complications that her bisexuality has brought upon her, from losing friends to having her faith questioned. Carys spits lyrics at break-neck speed and packs emotion into every word. This is a bold display of bravery, self-knowledge and honesty from start to finish, made truly captivating by Carys’ raw performance.

‘Intro’ will feature on Carys’ upcoming debut EP ‘EnRoot’, due for release on 30 October 2020 via Ministry of Sound.
