Rachel Chinouriri ft Hak Baker 'November' by Sekou Abineri
Promonews - 3rd Aug 2021
Sekou Abineri directs a stylish visual to accompany Rachel Chinouriri's collaboration with Hak Baker on the wistful November.
As Chinouriri's emotive lyrics capture the intense memories and nostalgic nature of the track, Abineri's video does a great job in presenting the personalities of the performers and the sense of ease and friendship between them, within beautifully art directed settings.
An empty swimming pool is one of the locations that help to create an aspirational sensibility to frame both the individual and joint performances. These are mainly focussed on the glamourous Chinouriri, but also give Baker his moment in the spotlight, to present a more pop-friendly image than previously.
It all works well with the dreamy soundscapes of the track, Chinouriri's sultry and delicate vocals, and the yearning nature of the lyrics.
