The Philadelphia based artist’s latest music video explores escapism and empowerment in R&B aesthetics
““Bb” is the only true R&B song on fantasii and I wanted to make a video that reflected the genre,” says MHYSA via email. “I think the aesthetics of opulence, joy and sensuality in R&B videos can be a much needed daydream for black women and femmes living in an oppressive white supremacist society that constantly subjugates us. The song itself touches deeply on longing and desire/wanting to be desired, things that feel very scary for me to want as a black femme. I wrote the lyrics and decided much of the arrangement and lawd knows produced the beat.”
