Lucianne – More
UK afro R&B songstress Lucianne has dropped her latest song ‘ More’ produced by burgeoning Nigerian musician Majeek. The VR-themed video shows how the lines between reality and fantasy can become blurred in the onlne world.
Speaking behind the inspiration for ‘More’, Lucianne says, “‘More’ is inspired by something I’ve been through and an experience I think many others have as well, with so much of our lives being online. I was really into someone that I always saw online, and I just knew that if I ever had the chance to have him in my life then it’d be all good, but I only really saw him online and was always yearning to take it offline. The song speaks about loving on someone from a distance for such a long time, that you now need more than that. It is one of my favourite songs and I hope it gives us all the courage to go for what we want”.
