Ceeko’s latest single is a vulnerable expose into the inner psyche of a performer who’s sharing his own vulnerabilities and feelings of being trapped. Written when he was undergoing an ordeal of stress after making the life changing decision to remain independent while within a record deal, ‘Mental’ breaks down the confluence of being simultaneously worried and stressed about the unknown whilst still feeling elated and cherishing the freedom the decision brought him. With a music video that delves deep into the actual problem through an astute sense of symbolism, the aesthetic of the track is made perfectly 360.
The song almost has a wavy, flowing feel, with water playing a central feel to Ceeko’s own musical style. A powerful piece of r&b that’s bound to have you introspecting and vibing out all at once.
