London-based creative and rapper atlas azure comes through with his latest offering Talking To The Dead, a deep track accompanied by simple but creative visual.
The alternative rap track, ’Talking To The Dead’ is about trauma, death, revenge and rage triggered by the tragic loss of atlas’ cousin. The video is a striking visual directed by London-based French director, Franz Galo. In the video, atlas creates a powerful and poetic narrative in an emotionally-charged performance to camera. Reflecting the track’s themes of sadness, pain and grief, atlas is obscured in deep blue shadows whilst imagery of burning flowers and a raven are interspersed throughout.
Speaking on the track, atlas has said: “‘Talking To The Dead’ is about still being able to communicate with my parents and my cousin, though they are no longer with us while also addressing my initial feelings of revenge and consistent rage. I found myself having thoughts I could have never imagined, and being further pulled into the darkness. I had overwhelming feelings of taking revenge against the world and myself but I realised I had to stay strong and live for them as they wouldn’t want me to retaliate or self-sabotage.”
