Oddisee’s haunting “Brea” video is “a tribute to the unseen soul”

Music Worth Watching #1

“Brea”. Directed by Ryan Calavano. Music by Oddisee.

Commenting on the American condition circa 2016, the video for “Brea” manages to be haunting, captivating, and emotionally authentic without slipping into pretentiousness. Oddisee (a.k.a. Amir Mohamed) brews up a soulful hip hop instrumental that’s masterful in its simplicity, inviting very favorable comparisons to early DJ Shadow and the best of Mo’ Wax.
