Rahul’s “LONDON FOG” Presents A Cinematic Journey Through Self-Worth And Connection

Socials: Twitter / Instagram

Rising visionary Rahul returns for the second offering of his career, bringing more creativity, direction, and emotionally provoking sounds to his already high-set measure. The Tampa, Florida native has a sense that binds the relationship between sound, color, emotion, and illustration, where a polished sound direction meets stimulating visuals for a true one-of-a-kind feeling. Rahul's previous release, "ANECDOTE," introduced his connected visions with a song and video that efficiently served bright colors and hopeful emotions. Now back for another cinematic journey through mystery and self-exploration, Rahul drops "LONDON FOG."

The new single itself is a hazy trip, including atmospheric keys and pads behind lo-fi dance-like drums. The writing instantly stands out, as Rahul brings a complete variety of feelings through a psychedelic delivery of sorts, let alone the corsage of lyrics aimed at a realization of self-worth, substance use, and his yearning for connection. A slow build to a steady dose of bouncing drums and pitched vocals occurs through the first half, aiding in the emotions fitted; it's another fantastic portion of Rahul's creativity and expression. 

The music video (more like a short film), directed by Marcos Segura and edited by Rahul, starts with the artist seemingly committing murder and fleeing his home (or country) to meet a woman that takes him in. During the time spent, she reminds him of his bad habits, including overthinking, which ties to an image of a masked figure that continues to appear in his head. Never fully brought to light, the depiction becomes left for interpretation, although seems to bear a metaphor for intrusive thoughts of pain, guilt, or sorrow. After some time spent in the woman's apartment, she offers a tab which leads to a visually stunning expedition of color, where Rahul looks to start admitting his thoughts and emotions. A later scene takes us back to the apartment, where the woman lays and grabs a knife from under her bed. The end switches to a completely different pacific setting, with a new partner, where he seems to become emotionally comfortable and forgiving of himself.
