West London artist Xadi drops off his first offering of 2021 ‘Movies’.
A candid, honest portrait depicting feelings of nostalgia from bygone relationships, ‘Movies’ pairs contemplative lyrics with delicate production. Self-shot and self-edited, the similarly pensive official video sees Xadi reflecting on his personal situation while watching the sunset with the cliff edge as the backdrop. It follows October single ‘Mañana’ featuring Manchester-based artist Nina Cobham, which has racked up almost 200,000 streams to date.
“I was messing around on my guitar, and came across these chords which felt really nostalgic and instantly brought to mind that old film reel ticking sound” Xadi explains. “Watching movies in the cinema feels like a timestamp to me, so the song had to be a reminiscent one. ‘Movies’ is a reflection on some of the lesser experiences I’ve had with people as well as the way I have gone about processing them”.
