J Hus ft CB

Commissioned by Daniel Millar from 4FC, J Hus and CB’s latest music video ‘Cream’, emerges as a visual masterpiece that transcends conventional boundaries, delivering a captivating audio-visual experience. Directed by Nicholas Lam, the video unfolds as a striking fusion of cyberpunk aesthetics and anime-inspired storytelling, showcasing a creative brilliance that has left audiences in awe.

In this R-rated cyberpunk anime western, J Hus and CB transform into animated swordsmen navigating a dystopian future, encountering shadowy organisations and super-villains. Lam’s visionary direction takes centre stage, orchestrating a narrative that seamlessly blends elements of samurai and cowboy cultures.

Collaborating with animation teams Tier S in Serbia and Point Five Creations in Taiwan, Lam elevates the video with exceptional visual storytelling. The result is an ultraviolent and dynamic journey, marked by impressive dramatic build-ups and superb animation work that captures the essence of the song.

In essence, ‘Cream’ not only showcases the musical prowess of J Hus and CB but also establishes itself as a testament to the boundless creativity within the realm of music videos. Lam’s directorial finesse, coupled with the collaborative efforts of talented animation teams, sets a new standard for immersive and visually captivating storytelling in the world of contemporary music.
