Stormzy performing live at the O2 Arena, London (Ryan Burdett for Live4ever)
Stormzy’s new video has been directed by KLVDR.
Stormzy has unveiled his latest single Mel Made Me Do It.
The track’s promo features a stellar list of cameos – including Dave, Headie One and Little Simz – and it could well feature on the star’s follow-up to Heavy Is The Head which is expected before the end of this year.
“Opener Big Michael sets up a narrative that reminds these would-and-could-be’s how far he’s come, played out over a nifty bass that links him to his south London roots, but the ante has been raised, he’s pumped up and throwing all the envy and suspicion back in the direction it’s coming from,” our review reads.
“It’s to the rapper’s credit that he’s still more than happy to trade verbal blows, even more so that they still land so heavily on Audacity, a genuinely menacing warning to the ‘ashy youts’ swimming in his wake.”
“This defiance – in the face of being neutered to gain total mainstream acceptance – is impressive, but the door to global superstardom is now wide open. Amongst the many proofs here Crown is the most persuasive, an introspective musing on the price of fame and being misjudged from a distance. Part sung, part rapped, here is a man, it declares, with talent to burn.”
