Multi-faceted R&B artist MEYY has collaborated with London rapper Jelani Blackman for her latest number ‘Rain’. The seductive single has the power to evoke the sensual spirit within us all, as MEYY’s alluring vocals melt into the rich R&B production, before Jelani Blackman enters to provide his husky counterpart.

Alongside the track comes an erotic visual offering, directed by MEYY herself. Channelling the ethereal vibe with an aesthetic that is fresh and evocative, the clip stars the duo as they’re shot in scenes fleeting between trippy cinematography, 3D art and crisp intimate shots of them together in bed. Speaking on the visuals MEYY said:

“When I make music, I envision visuals simultaneously. For ‘Rain’, I had several settings in my head all pivoting around a minimal aesthetic and angelic light. Directing it from scratch was completely new and challenging for me, but I learned so much going through the amazing creative team involved. From the creative director to DOP, set dresser, editor, and graders, it’s the team that made it all come together.” 

The 3D art featured in the visuals can be credited to MEYY’s long-term collaborator Romain Albers, who helped create the dream-like universe her art sits within.
