Watch: Ady Suleiman - "So Lost" [Premiere]
R&B newcomer Ady Suleiman is sharing his first ever music video - for "So Lost" - exclusively on Best Fit.
It's an ambitious clip, with spiralling cameras and long takes, that sees Suleiman tumbling through a series of disjointed events, apparently spectral as if forgotten by former friends á la It's A Wonderful Life.
The track itself boasts production akin to Chance The Rapper's slick lounge-funk - Suleiman actually counts Chance among his fans - with parping backdrop-horns and tripping beats. Despite the dark psychological overtones in Suleiman's words, he manages to create a track that's blissfully breezy; it's an impressive juxtaposition of both the beach-ready timbres and his own emotive tones. It's taken from his upcoming debut EP, State Of Mind.
Speaking about the video, Suleiman said:
"It was great filming my first video back in Notts with Michael Holyk. We knew each other before hand and been planning to shoot something around our city for a while. There were so many great folk involved, and I felt privileged. It was a dope day. I hope everyone enjoys what we created."
Suleiman's State Of Mind EP is released in May via Pemba Records. You can get the new single now via iTunes.
