I just want it to hit... We wanted to create a visual that made people stop and listen.”
Baker Boy
The Fresh Prince Of Arnhem Land Baker Boy has finally launched his massive debut album, Gela. And to celebrate, he's released a brand new video for his new track, Survive.
Taking cues from the iconic Sinead O'Connor vid for Nothing Compares 2 U, the rapper worked with director Aurie Indianna to make the piece - featuring a spoken word section from legendary actor and proud Boon Wurrung, Dja Dja Wurrung, Woiwurrung and Yorta Yorta man, Uncle Jack Charles.
“Sometimes less really is more. This approach allowed Danzal's raw emotion to tell the story,” Indianna said of the striking visuals. "He's strong, he's angry and frustrated, but more than anything he is proud, even in his most overtly political track to date, Danzal still manages to keep it positive, he's saying 'we're surviving, we're thriving.'”
Baker Boy also shared his love for the project, saying, “When Aurie showed me the Sinead O'Connor video I was like damn, you can just feel the emotion and with a song like Survive, I just want it to hit... We wanted to create a visual that made people stop and listen.”
Gela is available for streaming now.Watch the new video for Survive below:
