Jully Black talks music, media generalizations of the black community, her relationship with her father and more for the CBC’s “One Take” viral series.
Been seeing more and more producers adopting this approach to marketing themselves. Definitely a great way to get yourself seen and heard as long as the actual video has STRONG context relating back to its primary purpose as a visual beat sampler. That way someone that randomly stumbles upon the video on the net knows it’s not just some random visuals with music in the background.
