Becoming known as the sound of Brooklyn R&B, Adrian Daniel, who recently wowed audiences at the Volkswagen Jetta 2019 launch event in Brooklyn, offered up another impressive body of work with his new album, ‘FLAWD’. The project released March 2nd, 2018 via 1990 Records / Empire to high praise. Today, Adrian has unveiled an emotionally-charged video for his hypnotic song, “Roxanne”. Directed by Carmelo Varela, the artistic, crimson-filtered video immerses the viewer in the throes of a crumbling relationship.

When asked about the inspiration behind the video, Adrian shared:

“In making this video we wanted to capture the headspace I was in when I made this song. ‘Roxanne’ is about having a conversation about something coming to an end and the video is just an extension of that but instead I’m speaking to myself thinking someone’s there but they aren’t. Which is something we do as humans everyday when we have something on our minds.”
