GoldLink Details Past Relationships In 3 Imaginative Clips 'Pink, Blue, Orange'

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

Well, this is dope. I was expecting these to be music videos from GoldLink’s 2015 album, And After That, We Didn’t Talk, but instead the DMV emcee gets a little bit more creative. To go hand-in-hand with the narrative of his debut album, GoldLink collaborates with directing duo Rubberband and UK artist/poet Kojey Radical (who narrates the vignettes) for "Pink," "Blue" and "Orange". GoldLink explains the rational behind the three short clips that explore the dynamics of past relationships, saying:

Every man has or will go through these three different relationships. These visuals embody the core of my album, ‘And After That, We Didn’t Talk.’ This is me reflecting on what I guess I learned too late.

You  can check out the clips for "Pink," "Blue" and "Orange" below. And After That, We Didn't Talkis out now.

--

PINK: The memory of someone you didn’t deserve. Someone too good for you that you wronged just by being with them.

--

BLUE: The remembering of an obsession. A relationship you will inevitably, always carry a piece of. A relationship that fragments and damages you and leaves its indelible mark.

--

ORANGE: Equilibrium. The moment where all the noise fades away and you feel absolutely connected to that other person.
