Nkosi Bourne drops off visual for standout track “Drowning”
Brooklyn, New York musician Nkosi Bourne has shared a new video for his song “Drowning”. A standout track from his recent EP Glimpse, “Drowning” showcases themes of resiliency, constant challenges, lack of complacency, and more, portrayed through vivid lyricism. Underscored by jazzy, pensive production, Bourne weaves together thoughtful, focused lines delivered with deft flows and a certain clarity in his delivery. It is a relatable and sharply-crafted cut that employs Bourne’s strengths with the pen. The new visual is focused and clean in nature, with an organic performance from Bourne that captures the song’s laid-back style. It contains swift, smooth shots and editing that give the video a sense of pace while keeping things natural and relaxed. The music video shot by Cultivison, a production company run by Cult Classic, follows Nkosi through a depiction of a day in his life. Beginning with his home life, you get to see some of his routines but, more importantly, the things that can easily deprioritize his passion for making music and grinding. It’d be easy to call them distractions, but some are core factors of his life that keep him going no matter how hard things get, and others are really just the other factors of life that make Nkosi feel like he’s living life on a “handstand.” It’s a relatable, smartly-crafted theme that stays true to the sound of the song, making for a natural visual pairing.
