Rico Dalasam - “IMÔ
Despite showing up on his latest project, Escuro Brilhante, Último Dia no Orfanato Tia Guga, Brazilian poet and singer Rico Dalasam gives “IMÔ the video treatment. After being a highlight on his latest album, “IMÔ being the latest to receive a video is special. With his last LP, Dalasam was on a mission to offer listeners insight into his upbringing and his current lifestyle. The video for “IMÔ offers that insight, shining a light onto his troubles, but more specifically, his joy. The video adds an extra layer of depth and color to an already personified song, highlighting the vibrant characteristics of Dalasam’s inner workings and giving it the same visually stylized aesthetics as its counterpart. The rich poetry of Dalasam’s lyrics portrays the tragedy in his life, but the track’s beat uplifts the tone with the integral message that joy overcomes, and the video exemplifies that theme beautifully, making for a great introduction to the singer to an unbeknownst audience. – Alan Baez
