Sam Akpro shares details of his debut album, Evenfall

The title track, as Sam Akpro says exists, "somewhere between a before and after space in time, where moments have passed and where events are yet to take place."

"Evenfall" comes accompanied by a stunning introductory visual – directed by Pedro Takahashi, who worked with Akpro previously on the MVA-nominated video for "Death By Entertainment" – that perfectly sets out the dusky, inner-city soundscapes of the wider album. It evokes the early hours loneliness of a metropolis that never sleeps, where streams of late-night traffic rush past static underpasses, scenes of stillness and tension colliding.

Speaking on the video, Takahashi offers: "'Evenfall' is a culmination of all the videos Sam and myself have collaborated on....Thematically, the video is about fading away in a city that is hard to live in. The idea is to express that if you pick out any individual in this city of millions, you'll find that everyone has their own grand internalised life, full of hopes, fears, dreams and failures."
