Following the release of one of her most passionate projects titled Cry 4 Help, it was very well-known & apparent across the board that L.A. based singer and rapper Kari Faux was sure in her delivery, taking her listeners on an expressive journey through her innermost learning experiences, personal struggles with traumatic events and mostly, just all around realness. Fresh from the beautiful EP, we have yet another stunningly directed music video by the one and only Dylan McGale. Having witnessed what these two were capable of in Kari’s visual for “LEAVE ME ALONE”, I was greeted by nothing but high expectations, a vision is clear-cut along with being visually enticing. “Night Time” to me personally is one of Kari’s more resilient tracks from her project, only making this collaboration completely fitting for Dylan and Kari’s linkage upon telling the impressionable stories going on in her mind.
Kari begins her storytelling by rolling a joint in a parked car off of a dark, empty alleyway–rain drops gliding down the windows, greeted by illuminating neon lights. Kari then looks up into a window of a building across the way, where she then begins her recap of her “said” love affair. There is a particular reason as to why the theme is surrounded by darkness and what goes on in the “night time”, revealing some very creepy & questionable situations she gets placed in as the video continues. The perceptions that can be drawn from this video get pretty heavy as you start to analyze each piece. The intricate, filmic details throughout the video along with the aesthetics always being in order, this video is guaranteed to be one of those moments that sends you into think-piece mode, totally in awe at the cinematic artistry and ability of both Kari & Dylan.
