Jhené Aiko - "Lyin King" [Music Video Premiere!]
Jhené Aiko takes it way, way, WAY back in time for her spiritual “Lyin King”
music video, which premiered on VEVO today (Oct. 1). Say what? Yeah, Jhené just
dropped a new music video for a new “buzz” single from “Souled Out”, her
2014-released debut album! She’s not letting the album die just yet and I
couldn’t be more happy!
“Lyin King” was written by Jhené Aiko, Brian Warfield and Mac
Robinson and they today-released music video was directed by TOCK + Topshelf
Junior.
The music video sees Jhené living in the time of an ancient
African civilization and taking part on some sort of ritual. But for better
explanation, please read the whole description of the “Lyin King” MV that Jhené
has posted online:
"A mysterious, time traveling medicine woman has a prophetic vision of an early civilization in trouble.
The men have neglected the women and deprived them of love. By orders of their chief, the men of the tribe have taken away the women’s hearts and voices.
The women are powerless. The children are suffering.
The medicine woman travels for many days to reach the primitive village.
Upon her arrival, the medicine woman performs a miracle. She instantly restores the grace of the women of the tribe and gives them their voices back.
The men of this early tribe are not pleased.
With the men of the tribe’s attention, the medicine woman and the women of the tribe begin a ceremony in which they tell the story of how they are taking their voices back.
The chief is infuriated.
The medicine woman leaves the now capable women to conduct a private ceremony for the chief.
The chief is intrigued and frightened.
What he thinks will be a sexual experience turns out to be something very different.
After the ritual is performed, the medicine woman passes on her apocalyptic prophecy of how the world will end due to the lack of love throughout humanity.
The chief experiences ego death. He sees that it starts with him."
Great! But when is she going to give us a new album? ;(.
