Violet | Daniel Caesar
Toronto, ON native Daniel Caesar released his new EP, Praise Break, which is sure to leave a few of us feeling brokenhearted (you can listen to the full album here). Here's one example: when speaking about "Violet" (his single and newly released accompanying video) he told Billboard.com, "Violet' is really for this girl I was hanging around with at the time. She told me once that she wrote a song when she was little, called 'Violet in the Sun'... So I made 'Violet. I wanted her so bad but I never really had her. In the video, if you pick up on it, Ellis Nakata (co-star) was really just a figment of my imagination. She represents everything that I desire, and everything that I'm striving for. Before I moved to the city I spent every Saturday sitting in church wishing I could be living on my own, doing what I wanted. I think this video portrays that."
Woah. Heavy shizzz. Check out the video below!
