Premiere: Ashden Unveils Striking New Visuals For “Shango”
Written by SOURCE on November 8, 2018
Late last year, London wordsmith Ashden dropped off debut project Conversations With Myself, a soul-searching collection of experimental hip-hop, packed with layers of lyricism and errant pop culture references. A true window into the mind of the artist, most interesting across the EP is “Shango”, a stark and hypnotic anthem, calling on the name of the powerful African deity.
Today presenting the visual for “Shango”, “a voyage of self-discovery”, Ashden, himself of Nigerian descent together with director Iggy LDN weave together a ceremonial clip, precise in themes of reclamation and its referencing of African proverbs and the Triangular Trade.
Backed by striking imagery and design, it’s sharp, regal and amongst the finest visuals you’ll fix your eyes on this month.
