Winning fans with her unique perspective on L.A street rap, Compton’s Azjah has a bright future. Baring her soul in a romantic new video, Azjah shares the new clip for “Soul Ties.”
Produced by Bizness Boi (6LACK, PartyNextDoor), “Soul Ties” mixes tender, new age keys and woodwinds with crisp percussion, creating a swirling pocket for Azjah to melodically explore the conflict between her hardened street persona and her inner romantic.
In the video, directed by Azjah herself, the “Soul Ties” video tells a sweetly romantic story of Azjah and her latest girlfriend, starting with a meet-cute at a Compton gas station (Azjah pulling up in her Maserati), and progressing to intimate nights at the club and the crib.
“Soul Ties” is the latest single from 1:03 AM, Azjah’s upcoming project. The new project is carried by Azjah’s innate sense of melody and expressive emotion–her songs read like diary entries, telling self-contained narratives and radiating toughness and vulnerability in equal measure.
