Cameroonian artist Kocee’s consistency is revealed once again on this release which combines beautiful musical sounds with a painting of society described in simple words.
Stranger, featuring the Ivorian artist KS Bloom, shows the universality of the message.
The beginning of the clip is freaking out, given the mysterious setting that reminds us of “Thriller” by pop icon Micheal Jackson, before contrasting with subsequent scenes. From the first words, the clip immerses us into a universe of normal family life but incomprehensibly combines with images that refer to kind of afterlife, out of step with the narrative.
Then KS Bloom comes in, which unlike the previous scenes, presents a different scenario, a little more in tune with the narrative.
Nevertheless, the festive celebration of the death of a loved one by loved ones shows us that “all of us are strangers on this earth”, and that whatever our social status during life, all this will remain on this earth at the moment of our departure, because we’ll not take anything away.
