Cameroon-born, NYC-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and producer Laetitia Tamko, better known under the moniker Vagabon, will release her sophomore album in one month. So far, we’ve heard two beautiful singles: “Flood” and “Water Me Down”. The artist has now shared a captivating video for the latter, which was directed by Maegan Houang and choreographed by Derek Nemechek. About the visuals, Vagabon stated:

[su_quote]With the ‘Water Me Down’ video, I knew I wanted to make a visual with striking vignettes, I wanted the colors to reflect those that illuminate my album cover, I worked with film again, as I have with all my videos so far, this time we went with 16mm. And I wanted to flex a muscle I haven’t shared yet, dancing. Derek Nemecheck and I worked together on movement. We never strayed from the dancing that felt natural in my body and it was so rewarding. Maegan Houang executed these ideas beautifully.[/su_quote]

The video takes place in the middle of the last century. For the Mad Men‘s fans, you wish Don Draper appeared on the screen at some point. It relates the typical story of an obedient woman and her husband, who is a liar and who cheats on her. The actress Lisa Maley is particularly good! The photography is polished and there are quite some references to famous movies such as “Citizen Kane” or “In The Mood For Love”. Concerning the tension that is growing, we could also refer Alfred Hitchcock. And as the master of suspense would achieve to do: you will be surprised when it ends!
