SWIM GOOD | THE VID!
Could “Swim Good” possibly be my favorite track of the year? Or is it that I’m high on life, excited that there are finally, and greatlookingly (not a word? Whatevs.), visuals to Frank Ocean’s ‘Swim Good’?! I’ll settle for a combination of both. After many fan-made videos and covers (some bad, good, and simply breathtaking like this one by Ebrahim), Frankie found it was due time to cater to us with the real deal. Due time indeed! Swim Good is featured on Ocean’s Nostalgia, ULTRA album, which I pretty much expect, if not DEMAND you to know by now. The video is directed by Nabil Elderkin and with a true Frank Ocean feel to it, I must say that I’m perfectly pleased with the result. Yep, let’s put this vid on repeat today. Enjoy!
THE BLACK OPERA “GOD’S CAMERA” (SURVEILLANCE VIDEO)
Seems like it’s a day full of surprises in my inbox. I love it, keep ‘em coming at notoriouslyaddictive@gmail.com. One of those surprises came from Stephanie Estes, who has been loyally informing me over the years of M.N.A. on the latest newnew what to keep an eye out for and all that good stuff; such as the newest video from The Black Opera. I could tell you who The Black Opera consists of, but the artists prefer to keep their identities concealed for the sake of the movement, so I’ll respectfully do so. “Gods Camera” is the latest video inspired from their debut project, Overture. Also check out “Sleep Tight“, their first official music video (under the cut) if you weren’t familiar with them yet. You might not know it Stephanie, but thank you for keep on giving me food for thought and new music to look forward to.
