Daniel Caesar's 'Freudian', A Visual

The first half of the video, shot in the same room, identically, only dawned on me toward the end of the scene. Directed by Kaevan Yazdani & Sean Brown for the ENDS, this video shows the art of simplicity being art in itself. With the screen split, the directors used the same room, the same angle and the same techniques to pan away from Daniel in the video. One screen showing one day, with the sun shining in a way to leave a natural tint on his room, and the other screen perhaps on another day allowing the sun to shine through a little more makes you as a viewer want to watch it again. Not mentioning the lovely women he used in this video, what they bring to this video is priceless. Again, not on my first viewing of this video, did I notice the role in which the ladies in this video played. More obvious in the second part of this video, whilst trooping beside the group of women jogging, you can see that they are in fact performing the song as well. Subtle things like someone walking from one screen to another, or every woman looking at the camera when the chorus breaks out, are some of the finer details in which I love about this video.
But finally, after the very mysterious clip added in between the two sections of this video, the end scene produces a surprise that forced this to be my favourite video of the year so far. Everyone knew their role in this cleverly put together piece of work. But it is the end scene in which one of the ladies decides to take it upon herself to perform the end of Daniel’s verse in which he sings the female perspective at this point of the song. She performs brilliantly, and suddenly, which is why I will keep this video as one of the most untraditional videos I’ve seen. Along with his debut single 'Get You' which provided visuals, again, I was not expecting, I can look forward to further visuals to accompany Daniel’s nostalgic music.
