Koncept – Leather
The first thing that strikes me about this track is the beat….
Dusty, lazy, chilled, stabs from a piano loop, and it just bounces….
Koncept’s bars are at home over this, and he goes from top range of his voice, to dropping down to quiet lines, and it works so well. The dynamics are well thought here.
To the video!
Video has paid an important part in music promotion, and it’s good to see that covid hasn’t stopped a vital artform. Shot in various locations, New York City for the street locations, the desert, and a hotel…. It’s all very stylish, and the star here is Koncept….
Everything about this is stunning.
What a tune.
Following the release of his critically acclaimed EP ‘Lucy’, Koncept returns with his next self directed video from the project, for single ‘Leather’
In a world driven by numbers on tik-tok and constant demand for glorified content, Koncept realizes that what means the most to him needs to be protected.
In this film, Koncept packs his duffel bag with his most loved possessions; his art and the brand that gives Champagne Konny his juice – Luc Belaire.
The video starts with Koncept on his home ground in New York City, and follows his journey driving through the city directly into the desert of California to bury his duffel bag.
