The Thrill, by Wayne Snow, from Figurine
Ultimately, an artist tries to search for, and excavate, parts of themself through their art. Producing items fully and solely to reflect the demands of the market can only responsibly be called a craft. Meaning, with art, the artist must at some point peak through under the caul of aesthetic.
Influences, obsessions, memories, fears and loves get thrown into the piece until all is set and settled. Over time, the art piece remains a kind of star map to the universe of the artist. Take Wayne Snow, a Nigerian born singer-songwriter and visual artist based out of Berlin, Germany. He is currently touring Europe behind his impressive debut album Figurine, from last year.
Centered mostly in the idiom of Soul and R&B, Snow's influences and inspirations spill over the album, videos and accompanying artwork. "Faceless" is anchored by a cool, mysterious scat and a booming dance thump. The song plays with tension and release, expressing and phrasing the intoxicating moments when love and desire derive out of the dark magus. "Love is faceless, the same for everyone," he observes.
Meanwhile, "The Thrill" is a cool groove recalling not only D'angelo (a stated influence), but Instant Vintage-era Raphael Saadiq on the sharp guitar work, and with "Figurine" Wayne shines over a drum break and agile bassline, joined later with a furrowed synth, an echoed space throughout the song as Snow wonders "who's gonna carry me?" There's a clean sophistication here in the vein of SOHN or James Blake, a jazz piano gathering up the end of the song with a warm solo.
The different approaches to sound never distract from Snow's singular character and voice, and the same dynamic is with the album artwork, the stark figure recalling ancient Malian portraiture and sculpture, or perhaps mid-eighties Grace Jones album covers. Snow prefers bold colours, alert lines overlayed with observed details. These different factors show a different approach to R&B from the drugged-up, nocturnal vibes of today's singers, dotting the album with delicious moments like the final coda "FOM" or, like on "Number 1," when the dynamic humming riff shifts into a cool choral, leaving a deepened tone, and a new way to look at this artist's portrait.

Eddie posts a Tiktok all bundled up in a thick coat, hat, and scarf. The only thing you can see of him is his eyes and the snow sticking to his eyelashes. He’s out of breath when he says, “Not to be an ‘Out-Of-Touch-Rich-Guy’ but - but, why am I shoving snow? Why do I do this every year? I have money now. I can afford to pay someone to do this so why the fuck are we not paying someone to shovel our driveway? This is torture.”
Behind Eddie, you can see Robin slip and fall and then see Steve fall when he tries to help her. Eddie turns around when he hears them laughing and whispers to himself, “What the fuck?”

Okay, but Bruce suddenly getting cursed or something, and suddenly is able to read people's minds.
And among the drama, he turns to Clark and suddenly is hit with "Oh dear, he looks so hot today, I wanna kiss him so bad. Love his tight ass in those fitting pants❤️". And Bruce is like "WTF?!!!" But now he can't confess he is cursed and can read minds, cos Clark will find out he knows, he will be embarrassed, and their relationship will go to shit.
So Bruce tries to find the solution by himself, and of course Clark forces himself into the investigation because "that's what friends do, Bruce" but his mind keeps getting more and more horny and explicit about the things he wants do to him, and Bruce is suddenly hard and he can't fucking keep going like this and keep a straight face as Clark wrecks him in his mind.
