KnockturnaLIST: The Music Videos of 2017 that We Loved

R&B/JAZZ

Kelela – LMK

Album: Take Me Apart (2017)
Director: Andrew Thomas Huang

Kelela relives all of our favorite ’90s sounds, delivering Take Me Apart this year with all the vocals and soul that the music scene needs. The video is very surrealist, which is typical of its director, Andrew Huang, who has collaborated with Björk in the past. In the video, Kelela wears different wigs, symbolizing her multiplicitous selves, struggling between who she is, who she was, and who she wants to be. The tones of empowerment are strong throughout.
