SIPHO. - BODIES [Video]
An undeniably inventive beat kicks off SIPHO’s latest release. A low, consistent yet unstable hum lies under the track, giving a menacing feel. His soulful voice follows, bringing a charisma and depth that seems older than the artist's 21 years. His church background is instantly apparent in his gospel voice and gives the song a spiritual lift that’s reminiscent of Kanye West’s recent contemporary gospel-inspired music.
Moving on, the song contorts into a distorted version of UK Garage classic ‘Sorry’ by Monsta Boy. Reinventing the much-loved tune to represent the reflective and melancholy themes of ‘Bodies’. The visuals for the song use vibrant colours which work as an effective contrast to the dark rumbling energy of the song itself.
His debut EP ‘AND GOD SAID…’ will be out on 25 June through Dirty Hit and you can watch the video below.
