Loyle Carner shares video for ‘Stars and Shards’
The South Londoner’s latest single gets a snazzy animated visual to match.
South London newcomer Loyle Carner has a snazzy new animated video to match his latest single ‘Stars and Shards’.
Over jazzy licks, and the dark twisted stories of strangers, the viddy morphs quickly between strange, surreal imagery; suspect ciggies that dissolve into a heap or pills, and dodgy looking rabbit characters. Loyle makes an IRL appearance, too, before turning into a cartoon himself.
In other Loyle Carner news, the super-talented rapper has also announced a UK headline tour in September.
Watch the new video for ‘Stars and Shards’ - directed by Anna Ginsburg and Gworge - below.
