Today, multi-platinum R&B iconoclast, style icon, and entrepreneur Brent Faiyaz takes a much-deserved and well-earned global victory lap in the music video for his latest single “Best Time” out now. Watch HERE.
Of course, the standout graces the tracklisting of his acclaimed chart-busting opus, Larger Than Life, out now. Listen to Larger Than Life HERE.
The new visual, directed by Lonewolf, follows Brent on a journey around the world. It intercuts footage on tour, in clubs, at afterparties, and behind the most exclusive velvet ropes in Milan, Tokyo, Sydney, and beyond.
Black-and-white vignettes dissolve into vibrant animated breaks, adding an elevated aesthetic to the clip. Bottles pop, cameras snap, models surround the superstar, and fans cheer. Akin to a vlog in motion, it lives up to the refrain of “The best time <a href="1’s ever had.”
“Best Time” has soared as the most-streamed song on Larger Than Life, piling up over 97 million plays on Spotify alone.
Maintaining incredible momentum, he recently uncovered the music video for “WY@” co-starring none other than Academy® Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o [Black Panther, US, 12 Years a Slave]. Watch HERE.
Garnering widespread acclaim, Variety hailed Larger Than Life as “the best Neo-Neo soul album to date,” going on to tout the “high-speed” music video as well.
EBONY spotlighted “WY@” and raved, “Faiyaz’s influence cannot be overstated; he’s a true force to be reckoned with, shaping the landscape of contemporary R&B with his unparalleled talent and authenticity.” It has already reeled in 3.8 million YouTube views and counting!
Meanwhile, he also just pulled up for a show stopping cameo on 21 Savage’s “should’ve wore a bonnet” from the Billboard 200 #1 album, American Dream. HYPEBEAST applauded how “Savage enlists Brent Faiyaz to infuse the track with some of his smooth vocals.” He also graced the legendary Saturday Night Live for a riveting performance of the record on late night television’s most iconic stage.
Earlier this year, he dropped the music video for “Upset” [feat. Tommy Richman & FELIX!], watch HERE. He also performed the song live on MTV’s Fresh Out Live. Watch HERE.
It just paves the way for more from Brent. Get ready!
Marking the first release under his ISO Supremacy imprint in partnership with UnitedMasters, Larger Than Life has exploded as a phenomenon. It has already moved north of 200K album equivalent units in the U.S.
It bowed at #11 on the Billboard 200 in addition to catapulting to #2 on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart and #2 on the Global Spotify Album Chart and #2 on the US Spotify Album Chart. Not to mention, it earned critical acclaim. In addition to plugs from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and more, Pitchfork proclaimed, “He’s got the moody-yet-cool lane on lock, and it’s made him one of the most prominent men in R&B right now.”
