Atlantic Records new signee Ravyn Lenae releases the music video for her new single, ‘Sleep Talking.’ In the gloomy clip, directed by AZae Production, the 17-year-old Chi-Town R&B/Soul singer occupy various locations in her home, including a bathtub, a couch, and bed as she reflects on a relationship.
About the video, she told ThisisRnB: “While brainstorming the video’s concept, I knew that I wanted to emphasize the idea of time. Beyond ‘Sleep Talking,’ I noticed that the majority of my work generally has elements of time woven into other ideas. I found myself stalking time (watching every documentary on the Internet that had to do with the subject), and sparking a sense of awareness towards time and [the] effect or, non-effect it has on myself and the surrounding.”
As far as the creative idea surrounding the song, Ravyn says she’s still searching for the answer. “I am still not certain of the meaning of the song,” she adds. “I find hidden messages in my music every day. However, I like to think that the “Sleep Talking” touches on the frustration of not being able to effectively communicate with someone, and the mystery in not communicating at all.”
‘Sleep Talking’ was previously released on Ravyn’s debut EP Moon Shoes, which is not getting re-released on a major level.
