This song!!!!
I feel like every time I get on here to post, I'm just IN LOVE with the song I want to post about. But seriously. This song.
It's "Black Suit" by Rphabet featuring San-E. Before you start asking, it's pronounced "Ahl-pha-bet." So, just a fun way of spelling it. I like it, it's... twisty.
Rphabet is a music producer, but he composes as well and this is his "debut" song, apparently. So, San-E is the rapper/singer, but it's Rphabet's song. Written, mixed (I suppose) and created by Rphabet.
One thing: I am not sure I expected this of San-E right after his own song, "Story of Someone I know," but... I really like it.
The song is... I love it. That does not express how much I really just enjoy this song.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Okay. That expressed it. And, now that I've expressed my love for the song in general, I'm going to express my disapproval for the profanity. You don't need to swear to be heard. In fact, people respect and listen to you when you use a larger vocabulary and are intelligent about things.
Black Suit has this absolutely SICK rhythm, simple but infectious. It sounds like a lot of electronic mix and awesome percussion sounds mixed in. This is serious dancing music. The vocals--holy cow, I love the chill "Black suit, my black suit," for the chorus that intensifies and gets harder and then goes into this sequence of electro... Oh, yeah! And his rapping? When does he even take a breath sometimes? I get so caught up in it, I don't even notice him breathing. It's GREAT! I am so not over the mix of this, and those transitions? Nice.
The video is simply amazing as well. The first thing I noticed was the black and white of it, complicated only by a few violent bursts of weird color, almost like a negative of a photo gone wonky.
I love how the opening is like an action film--the words just fade into view. The imagery is amazing: doodling over the actual reality is so neat. His skull makeup? BEST THING EVER! And by best thing, I mean it was really scary at first.
A few things: the doodled birds were fun. The drinks--I'm SURE it was just alka-seltzer. Right? Right?!
The tattoos were very cool (I don't like tattoos, but the imagery fit). The random lady waving her arms also worked for the video.
My favorite line had to have been, "My skin yellow, but my soul blacker than yours." That... I've got no words, it's great.
Hope you love the music video as much as I do! See you soon. :D
