I had first heard about koi through. His work with the awesome music video production company Overcast, because they’re always putting me onto new artists that I find myself vibing out with heavily, so I know they’re never going to steer me wrong when they make a visual with an artist that wasn’t previously on my radar. Since then, I have dived deep into koi’s discography and have discovered that he is one of the most appealing, creative, and soothing voices in the entire music scene, and I think he is grossly underrated compared to the strength of his sonic catalog.
His vocals are just so smooth, and he doesn’t try to pretend to be someone he’s not, staying true to himself, his sound, and making sure that his skills are always fully showcased in the most eloquent of ways. Moving on, Sam McGrath has become not only my homie over the past year or so, but he has also become one of my favorite music video directors, shooting miniature movies for artists like Landon Cube, Bernard Jabs, TyFontaine, Tuxx, and many others that only continue to make his arsenal of videos stronger.
That’s why, when I saw that koi teamed up with Sam to shoot an awesome music video for his self-produced song “do you agree?”, I couldn’t wait to check it out, and it definitely didn’t let me down for even a second. In this one, the camera moves around a restaurant, showcasing some of the clientele which includes a group of friends, a lovely girl, and koi, who hangs out in a booth while reciting his lyrics.
Later on, he hits the bathroom to smoke a quick joint before actually getting to work in this diner, cooking up in the kitchen and cleaning dishes while also handling a variety of other tasks. From here, he seems to daydream about being on a date with the aforementioned girl, but this proves to be his imagination considering the video ends with her receiving a check alone as koi goes on to finish the rest of his shift. I think that although the video for “do you agree?” is simple, it’s definitely unique and creative, making it something you’re going to want to check out whenever you get the chance.
