With her highly anticipated new full-length album, Retribution, nearing release date, Tanya Tagaq has shared a brilliant animated video for the second single ‘Centre’, featuring Canadian rapper and hip hop artist Shad. Sometimes a track hits us so hard that we just keep listening to it again and again, and that is the case with the mind-blowing ‘Centre’, a “hip-hop song about molecular biology and menstruation”.
Tagaq teamed up with fellow Canadian artist and musician Chad VanGaalen, who animated the video. Speaking about it, she had this to say:
“I always knew I wanted to work with Chad because I’ve admired his work from afar for years. I wasn’t expecting it to turn out this well, where he was going to exactly exemplify every single facet of what we were trying to express in an otherworldly, fantastically, logical dimension. I’ve never felt my work so accurately visually embodied.”
What the video below.
Retribution is out on October 21st in North America and November 18th in Europe via Six Shooter.
