818) Sophia Kennedy - Build Me a House

"I want to take tradition to the limits, to where it becomes extreme", said Maryland-born, Germany-based musician Sophia Kennedy about her self-titled debut album. This piece from it is a perfect example of her doing just that. Collaborating with a Lithuanian folklore ensemble by the name of Svitanak, Kennedy uses her raw, unfiltered vocals and simple lyrical ideas to tell a compelling, primal story. She longs for a home and expresses her simple needs with a lot of passion and pain. In the piece's gripping music video, shot in Minsk, the singer is seen singing and playing a piano on a stage dressed as some sort of micro-organism very reminiscent of Sheldon Plankton while Svitanak accompany her vocally.
