Stealth premiers lyric video for single ‘Intro’ exclusively on FAULT Online.
You’d be forgiven for not knowing Stealth’s name but you’re likely to know his voice from popular collaborations with D&B stars Netsky Vs, Metrik on track ’Can’t Speak’ and Nitin Sawhney’s, ‘When I’m Gone’. However, as Sam Smith will attest to, there comes a time when all soulful vocalists have to stop pimping out their voices and step out on their own…
Today we’re proud to exclusively host the lyric video to Stealth’s debut single entitled ‘Intro’. This is not your standard lyric video of floating lettering and flashy colours but instead Stealth has opted for a montage of religious propaganda visuals. While a strange and provocative choice of visuals for an artist only on his debut, they are inspired by the first (and a lot of the time blind) steps artists take into the hellish music industry.
Stealth has had his fair share of upset with record executives trying to mould him in their vision as he blindly followed the lead of his own false prophets. In his own words ‘“but it wasn’t easy coming to terms with the fact that I was being a fool, and I wanted to find footage that would evoke that uncomfortable feeling I felt in myself at that time”. A message which is clearly delivered as he broods “Let me introduce myself, my name’s whatever you want it to be, my hands are tied, by the ropes of your design”.
Only time will tell if Stealth will enjoy the runaway success seen by similar modern blues artists but it’s a very strong debut made even stronger by an awesome lyric video. We’re very excited to see what else is to come in the future.
For now, we’re proud to present you with his awesome lyric video below…
