After setting the internet alight with her colourful video for ‘Sniper’, Folly Rae reveals an extended short film version of the video today.

Complimenting the female empowerment anthem, this bold new visual sees Folly Rae performing at a strange hotel in the Californian desert, where the staff vie for her affections by taking her on a string of dates. However, things don’t go to plan when the upbeat tale takes a dark twist. ‘Sniper’ is out now on Black Butter (Zara Larsson, J Hus).

Black Butter- the tastemakers behind Zara Larsson and J Hus- snapped up Folly Rae in 2017 after she released her debut EP, Money & Power, which featured production from the likes of Nana Rogues (the genius behind Tinie Tempah’s ‘Girls Like’ and Drake’s ‘Passionfruit’). Folly has since been supported by the likes of BBC Music Introducing on Radio 1 and 1Xtra, headlined the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury festival and won over Huw Stephens and DJ Target. 

Following a debut single on Hot Creations, London electronic producer Mineo teams up with elusive masked grime MC CASISDEAD for double A-side ‘Do It Again’ / ‘Woodblock’ on Black Butter.

Across the two sweltering cuts, Mineo’s deftly understated production collides with hypnotic bars from CASISDEAD to incendiary effect. First track ‘Do It Again’ sees the London MC and recent Tricky collaborator laying feverish mantras with possessed purpose over Mineo’s slyly bass-heavy backdrop. This moves seamlessly into the swampy tech-garage of ‘Woodblock’, where CASISDEAD’s vocals are chopped and cut with vinyl crackles and tom drums to create a rhythm that somehow nods casually towards Masters at Work dubs from the ‘90s.
