Polaris Music Prize nominee Witch Prophet shares the visuals for her song titled “Makda” which is taken from her Ontario Arts Council funded LP DNA Activation. The song was birthed with the help of producer SUN SUN and Witch prophet herself and both deliver a soothing and somewhat mesmerizing soundscape that blends with the singer’s alluring and sultry melodic vocals.
The visuals are directed by Leah Vlemmik who tap into the strength of black femininity and the spirit of the Ethiopian Queen of Sheba. The set pieces and eye-catchy aesthetics are bolstered through expressive dance choreography and costumes that celebrate Witch Prophet’s ancestral history and the women that inspire her.
