Shamir shared the music video for “In For The Kill” off his excellent debut album Ratchet. In the clip, he flies a DIY spaceship dropping colorful cassettes of his debut, targeting innocent civilians on backwood roads as well as Times Square.
“In For the Kill” is about making sacrifices to do things that make you happy. For me, that’s making and playing music. I had to leave a lot of things back in Vegas in order to do music – family, friends, certain trinkets I collect because I’m a very sentimental person. When you make music, you almost have to disappear and go deep inside yourself so that you can come back and give people something that feels honest to you. “In For the Kill” is a song for me to show that what I’m doing is not an easy thing. It’s something that I have to work hard towards.
Shamir has caught everyone’s attention this year with his effervescent tunes. Watch “In For The Kill” above.
