CLIP Drops Dancier Single '2 theFace' with Karaoke Video, Sets Boundaries

NYC artist CLIP has released a new single, "2 the Face", accompanied by a karaoke-infused video that showcases a shift from her signature melancholy rap sound to a more upbeat, dancier vibe. The song, produced by DrxftGod and EJ Stellar, ventures into the realm of dance and club tracks, marking a departure from CLIP's previous style.

The music video for "2 theFace" transports viewers to a colorful, neon karaoke bar, where CLIP exudes confidence and joy while donning an iconic Anna Bolin dress. The visuals evoke a bygone era reminiscent of Tokyo's vibrant club scene in the early 2000s. CLIP's new sound blends an upbeat tempo with contemporary elements of night core and powerful bass, creating a nostalgic yet exciting atmosphere for her fans.

The lyrics of "2 the Face" address a nagging lover, with CLIP singing in the chorus, "Blowin my phone/ I gotta block this hoe/ Stalking ass bitch/ Please leave me alone." The song reflects CLIP's personal growth and her focus on setting boundaries, a goal she mentioned in her 2022 PAPER cover story. "I really have no boundaries and that's the main thing I'm working on right now," CLIP said, emphasizing her desire to prioritize her own well-being.

CLIP's shift in musical direction was inspired by her recent experiences touring the world, particularly in Europe. "I went on a tour in Europe, and it just opened me up to people who actually like to have fun instead of just going out to look cool and please people," CLIP explained. This newfound perspective has led her to embrace a more carefree and joyful approach to her music, focusing on having fun and manifesting positive vibes.

The release of "2 the Face" follows CLIP's successful tour with Black Kray on his When Doves Kry tour. The NYC artist is set to perform at several upcoming festivals, including Summer Smash, Summerfest, and Rolling Loud Europe. CLIP's go-to karaoke song is "Say it Right" by Nelly Furtado, and she continues to collaborate with designer Anna Bolina, proudly proclaiming, "I'm Anna Bolina's strongest soldier until the day I die!"

With "2 the Face", CLIP showcases her growth as an artist, both personally and musically. By setting boundaries and focusing on her own happiness, she has crafted a dancier, more upbeat sound that reflects her newfound perspective. As CLIP continues to experiment with unique sounds and collaborate with iconic designers, fans can look forward to more exciting releases from the NYC artist in the future.
