Music Video: James Indigo – ‘Van Gogh’

Our favorite overseas rapper, still husband material, James Indigo is back with a stunning music video. Taking from his inspiring debut EP Married To The Game, Van Gogh is a real UK, glitch rave banger. The music video is a piece of art just by itself. Inspired by the late Van Gogh, James Indigo plays a painter that’s locked away in a tower that goes on a wild trip by poisoning himself with paint. In the span of three minutes and 50 seconds, we see a latex robot nurse, paint vomit, horn hair, a botched work of art creature, a magnifying glass headpiece, and an ugly bride.

Birmingham-born rapper James Indigo is making noise in the British music scene. He delivers witty unapologetic lyrics with trippy visuals whilst continuously pushing boundaries. His art focuses on themes of empowerment, embracing sexuality, and celebrating diversity. He wants to teach his audience that they can be of any gender or sexuality and still make great music. He wants to provide a safe space for anyone to be whoever they want to be in their own right. Read our interview with James Indigo over here.
