Video of the Week: BLK ODYSSY on the Crest of Waves

Genre-blending artist BLK ODYSSY has released new single and video "WAVES, and true to form it's a glorious mix of R&B, funk, hip-hop, indie-rock and alt-pop.

"Co-written with Mikky Ekko (Rihanna’s “Stay,” Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control”), the track is a lush, psychedelic-soul journey that blends ethereal instrumentation with emotionally raw vocals, coupled with lyrics that echo themes of surrender, intimacy, and the search for emotional alignment," reads a statement. Sonically, 'WAVES' flows between alternative R&B and experimental textures - riding a groove that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. With cinematic production and an almost hypnotic vocal performance, BLK ODYSSY invites listeners to drift into a meditative space - one where vulnerability and connection reign supreme."

“WAVES is a hypnotic love song disguised as a transmission of mind control," says BLK ODYSSY.

The fascinating video is also oddly uncomfortable. The artist finds himself within a group of people, all staring forward "American Gothic"-style. Then they start pawing at him.
