On the Music Video
Lloyiso: I filmed the video with my friend, Cody van Wyk, in a day. I didn't have a concrete concept going into the shoot, but I knew I wanted a serene and light visual to go with the track. I don't like acting [laughs], so we just kind of started rolling and went with it. I love creating with him.
On What's Next
Lloyiso: I can't give too much away, but definitely more music, more shows and merch announcements are coming soon.
