RAVYN LENAE WHERE I'M FROM (FEAT. MEREBA)

In Ravyn Lenae’s newest video, we enter a dark house, only witnessing a person’s shadow as they stand in front of the window, as she analyses her surroundings, providing close-up and medium shots of this person’s shadow. These visuals accompany the Chicago-based artist's beautiful single 'Where I'm From', taken from her recent project Hypnos. ‘Where I’m From’ sees Lenae speak about wanting to understand how her background has influenced who she has become as a person. This message about questioning one’s identity and place in the world is delivered by Ravyn’s hauntingly sweet voice, whilst also featuring the amazingly talented Mereba who compliments this single perfectly. Moreover, the use of darkness and mystery in the video demonstrates the idea of this artist is a blank canvas without finding out about her past and what made her become the person she is. Check this beautiful video out here now. -Shanice L
