RAYE 'Genesis' by Otis Dominique, RAYE
Rob Ulitski - 13th June 2024
Otis Dominique and RAYE continue their standout collaborative streak with this dazzling seven-minute epic for Genesis.
It's a video of two parts - the first five minutes are a darkly conceptual, twisty ride through societal woes, fear and depression. The final two minutes are the antithesis of this, exuding hope, light and love.
Shot across a week, the video is hugely ambitious, with a blockbuster sense of scale and an infectious mix of choreography, performance and conceptual vignettes. DoP David Wright responds brilliantly to the complexity of Dominique and RAYE's brief, with cinematography that spans from darkly cinematic to mock-TV ad colourful to off-the cuff doc style.
Written by Dominique, RAYE and her creative director Mikey Robbins, it's a momentous visual - one of the biggest of the year so far.
“It's always special when me, RAYE and Mikey link up but feel we went to a different, different level with this one!" Dominique says, justifiably.
"It feels surreal that it’s actually out in the world now and people can take it in. We shot the video across seven days and the whole crew and team were phenomenal too and I’m honoured to have met and worked with so many great people throughout this project. It’s hard to sum up in few words but hopefully the film and music can do the talking for now 🖤”
