Rod Wave is back with his new single, “Sinners”.
Directed by The Coogler Brothers, the vintage-style visual centers Rod Wave venting on some of his most rough times.
“Tell me, did I dig myself a deeper hole? / Did I sell my soul? A rocky road,” he sings while driving an old school car through a cotton field. “Daddy told me everything that be glitter ain’t gold / Tell me, how am I gon’ right my wrongs? I’d rather write my songs / Excuse me, master, I think you’re confused / I was promised forty acres and mules.”
The video features cameos Woody McClain, Dominque Madison, and Charles A. Black. The track serves as the title-track off the upcoming motion-picture film Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan in theaters April 18.
Listening to ‘Sinners’ is an almost physical experience. Rod Wave manages to weave with his voice, powerful and rich in nuances, and with the enveloping sounds a real atmosphere that captures you from the first notes. When he then switches to rap, his interpretation is so intense and heartfelt that it completely magnetizes you into the narration, taking you and dragging you into the song without you being able to resist. It’s like being sucked into a vortex of emotions, an excellent representation of the depth and grip that this artist knows how to exercise.
