L Martin - "More Love" [Video]

Produced by the very talented Maschine Man Tim, More Love gives us a combination of classic boom bap alongside strategically eery keys and additional vocals from soulful singer Purp. Lyrically the chorus was originally written to give a voice to anyone who may feel forgotten, ignored or oppressed. It is far from a political song, however L uses the concept of the hook to put his own twist on it through his verses by detailing his own struggles with society and personal demons.

'Whoring my thoughts out from my inner self/

Every post like a kiss and tell/

A penny for my thoughts is all im wishing for, wish me well/

They couldnt shop for what i got in store, not for sale'

The visual, filmed by Sean 'Maverick' Wilson and Ian Upton, really brings the personal elements of the song to life. The Sin City styled theme of the video really works well with the smart attire and the simple but detailed shots.
