Oakland's Ovrkast. recently shared his new album While The Iron Is Hot, an eclectic project that weaves potent lyricism atop instrumentals that draw from jazz, hyphy, and more- and he now shares a video for standout track "Strange Ways", featuring Vince Staples. Set to moody sonics and captivating flows, the video effectively uses minimalism and engaging performances from the artists to harness the track's sparse, forthright feel and grab one's full attention in the process.
"Strange Ways" crafts a hypnotic backdrop through its usage of smoky, meditative keyboard riffs and a booming, lightly distorted rhythm section. Building dynamically, the instrumentation creates a thought-provoking backdrop for Ovrkast. and Vince Staples to trade sharp, detail-oriented verses with commanding deliveries. The new music video, shot in black and white, is simple and t0-the-point, effectual in capturing the song's no-frills, candid sound and themes, featuring compelling performances from the artists.
"Strange Ways" is a track from rising Oakland artist Ovrkast.'s new album While The Iron Is Hot, a refreshing 13-track offering that builds upon his signature sound with its blend of elegant jazz aesthetics, raw, hard-hitting hyphy influences, and more.
