Ibeyi Stranger Video Large
The sisters Ibeyi have returned with a brand new video, this time offering up visuals for the mesmerizing tortured romance track "Stranger/Lover" off their self-titled debut album. Our good cousins at Okayafrica were quick to report on the clip, and gave it a pitch-perfect assessment:
The bass and piano-lead song is a meditation about the end of a relationship that sees sisters Naomi & Lisa-Kaindé Díaz proclaiming “Stranger, lover / this day will be our last / come heal in my arms.” The accompanying visuals show the twins’ faces and hair being dragged, distorted and reshaped by two anonymous hands — a possible representation of how a lover can affect and morph their partner’s identity throughout a relationship.
