A.Chal "GAZI" [Official Video]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

A.Chal’s latest track, “GAZI,” has been on steady repeat for me since the full version dropped some 2 months ago. That hook forever leaves me in a trance, and now we have some visuals to match that feeling. The L.A. based singer/producer welcomes you into his world with the official visuals to “GAZI.” Get A.Chal’s explanation of the vid, below. Hopefully more music is on the way.

The GAZI visual was shot by my friend and collaborator Tyler Diamond and produced by my brother and GAZÜ, Steve. At the time of shoot we snuck into a vacant Beverly Hills home. With the sun setting, we had to do it all in one take. We only had one choice; welcome the moment and let our vibrations be felt. The concept behind it is to get people familiar with A.CHAL and the GAZI world. This video is exactly what I envisioned when making the song. To have friends like Tyler who understand the vision and helping me bring it to fruition is a blessing. GAZI is about getting up and getting it. The attraction to the vanity yet staying conscious and keeping sane through it all. I made the song last year in LA at Paramount Studios. Shout out to Count Justice and Cody. Like most of my songs, I start recording them as soon as I hear the music.
