Today jazz-hop rapper Akua Naru dropped her second video for The Miner's Canary with "Seraphim". The song is the fourth track off the album and it features vocals from singer Fetsum. The song is just as riveting and relaxing as it was when I first listened to it. As far as the video it lays a visual story of love between Akua and a nameless man or at least that's what I would like for it to be. Actually, the interaction between Akua Naru and the man of interest isn't really conveyed as a story, it's more of them just basically having various interactions without a connection to a plot of any sort or progression. It's not necessarily bad, but it doesn't make it memorable as a music video. On the technical side, the video is well shot, but there are some odd looking lighting in some scenes, in particular around the forty-four second mark. The scenes transition well enough throughout, but overall I feel this was a by the numbers music video. It represented the theme of the song, but didn't do much else to make it stand out.
5/10
To any readers you should definitely check out The Miner's Canary as I had written in my Best Music of 2015 So Far entry that it's my second favorite album of the year thus far.
