Kelela Becomes a Sim in the 'Frontline' Video
EntertainmentKelela’s new CGI video for “Frontline,” which premiered on Insecure and was among several highlights on her 2017 album Take Me Apart, exists just at the edge of uncanny valley. Told via Sims-inspired animation, the action is broad like a silent movie, if the silent movie featured an R&B goddess cruising in a convertible and lighting up a blunt. “It’s about leaving your ex with the wind in your hair while acknowledging a curiously complex feeling of pain that he has left you for a white woman,” is how Kelela summarized the plot to Rolling Stone.
