Last week, young up-and-comer Tunji Ige released a ridiculously dope free album by the name of The Love Project. Today, a video for the title track has arrived.
A bleakly intoxicated cut, the song opens with a clip of an old Jimi Hendrix interview before Tunji takes things away with his great vocals. He sings, "I been so depressed for like a couple years / Never cry or frown or even show a tear" while we see him drinking by himself and staggering around the city. It's kind of heartbreaking, but as Ige gives us multiple sides of his "Renaissance man" persona on the project, "The Love Project (Ooh Ooh)" is balanced by more light-hearted and celebratory cuts.
