“Trippie Redd - Fire In My Heart”
“Fire In My Heart” is a passionate song in which Trippie Redd is talking about his upcoming and past, as well as his current lifestyle, and how he was able to bridge the gaps between the two via overcoming his own personal struggles, as well as the darkness that he has been forced to shine through. That is ultimately the crux of the song, and the video, directed by DotComNirvan, is a huge extension of this metaphor; perfectly bringing the vibe that Trippie created to life.
“Fire In My Heart” is a passionate song in which Trippie Redd is talking about his upcoming and past, as well as his current lifestyle, and how he was able to bridge the gaps between the two via overcoming his own personal struggles, as well as the darkness that he has been forced to shine through. That is ultimately the crux of the song, and the video, directed by DotComNirvan, is a huge extension of this metaphor; perfectly bringing the vibe that Trippie created to life. I would describe this vibe as dark solemn, and almost medieval or gothic. This is done through the usage of various motifs, as well as the lighting and set design that was constructed to extend and enhance this dark vibe. The motifs include the candle and the mirror, They are really the obvious ones that create the feeling. The lighting is very cool and dramatic, and the set design is concise and effective, with elements such as the wallpaper, a tree, a table, and a cool hex-like mirror elevating the set. From there, the effects really bring it to life and tie it all together. The double mirror effect was subtle but crazy, and I loved it. The light beam effect was consistent throughout the entire video, and it helped to extend the feeling that he truly has fire in his heart. It was projected from the chain as well, which was really cool. Then from there, some signature 3D movement within the scenes to really create an immersive world and tie it all together.
The second part of the video is a completely different vibe. No effects, no crazy set design (I assume), no crazy lighting. Just some good, old-fashioned scenes of Trippie performing and being himself, with a cool outfit on that contrasts the background well, in a super cool environment with tons of cool objects. The entire second half is shot on/edited with some sort of filter/alternative medium, in a different aspect ratio, and it looks super cool. Additionally, the transition between the two is amazing. This is a completely different vibe, but it works, and I think that having both is good, because it has the element of flashiness, yet also manages to pull off a more simple, aged look. Overall, I think that Trippie and Nirvan really outdid themselves on this one, both on the song and the music video. Go and watch it now!
