Ciani Mills - Clark Kent (Video)
Late nights are always for allowing yourself to get in your feelings & that's precisely what Ciani Mills auto-tuned tinged crooning evokes in her listeners on the acoustically minimalist trap laced "Clark Kent." An ode to going out & doing what you have to do to get it, the video following a young female struggling to keep everything in her life together, let alone get by. The odds stacking more & more against her throughout, but while Ciani can't save her (Captain Save a Hoe going to need a tissue for this one), she can promise her that things will begin to look brighter soon enough, don't grow too impatient.
The young girl in the visuals is gearing up for another long night of hard work but easy money; it's not like she wants to be doing what she's doing, but she's doing what she feels is necessary for somebody in her position. You can tell in the video that her man isn't having any of it, even though he's the one who most likely is out of a job, leaving her to be the provider for the two of them but sneaking off some well-earned luxuries for herself as that would explain the receipts he slams in front of her then gets thrown back in his face, rightfully so.
Ciani has a deep affinity for strong, women who while she can't save, encourages them to keep hustling for a better life than you have now. It takes hard work & determination to get there. Still, you're strong enough to tap into your inner independence, acknowledge your own self-worth; it can only go up from this point forward. You, too, can be on a steady incline like Ciani, don't ever get too comfortable; complacency will keep you stuck in a routine you so desperately want to get away from but can't get out of.
