Detroit, Michigan based Quelle Chris drops the visual to his latest track OBAMACARE, taken off his forthcoming album GUNS, via Mello Music Group
Quelle Chris share his thoughts on ‘Obamacare’: “’Obamacare’ came together just as organically as everything else on ‘Guns’. I’d been sitting on a few arrangements of two samples for a couple months. While in Oakland I was working with Chris Keys and Sean 5ill (Roger Billagio from Being You Is Great). Keys was doing an unintentional bit as an angry drum instructor that led to some amazing breaks. Once the drums existed the homeless samples basically feel into place. Keys then added his amazing piano but the real star of the song (besides my bars), the real cherry on top, the Vanjie Drag Race exit was the final edition. The bass line laid down by Keys. The rest is history. Plus I’d like to think of my music as free healthcare for all”.
The visual was directed, animated & edited by Quelle Chris: “Like most of my visuals, I try to find the place where proper pairing and a good excuse to try my hand at something I always loved as a kid meet. The video for ‘Obamacare’ is an homage to many of my favorite PBS, Sesame Street shorts with a touch of Terry Gilliam (and I mean a drip. Trust me I know my place. Lol). It’s one of my favorite songs on the album so I figured doing collage work in the style of my favorite era of animation was fitting. About 95% of the video was taken from the pages of archived magazines. Next video will likely be animatronics if this trend continues”.
