MEDUSA
Saturday 23rd December 2023, the eve of Christmas Eve sees the release of ‘MEDUSA’ the visually shocking third single from MAXY, on all streaming platforms.
British-Ghanaian artist MAXY is a multi-faceted musician who specialises in fusing genres. His third single ‘MEDUSA’ culminates his creative artistry, pairing his fiery wordplay and violent sonics with a both visually haunting and eerily beautiful short film.
MAXY interprets his telling of ‘MEDUSA’ relaying themes of revenge, anger and paranoia, whilst displaying the visuals of jealousy, vulnerability and sadness. A formula for chaos, as we see towards the end of the film.
The song plays closer to a film score, than what we are accustomed to hearing from MAXY so far, with pockets of emptiness and tense build ups, to explosive drops. Something. MAXY deliberately intended. Accompanied with emotive story and menacing visuals, this cinematic masterpiece showcases not only the creative brilliance of MAXY, but his dynamic range in acting, directing and scoring. Ironically, ‘MEDUSA’ is definitely one to watch.
