August 08 and Smino' "Blood On My Hands" Tackles Temptation and Heartbreak
Los Angeles based songwriter turned R&B singer August 08 follows the release of his "Spiral" music video with new single "Blood On My Hands" featuring St. Louis' Zero Fatigue founder Smino.
Isha Walia and Travis Brothers collaborated on a cryptic visual to showcase the adrenaline rush of escape with a flashlight in hand. "Blood on My Hands" is an escapist anthem blending reverberating synthesizers with August's raspy yet tender vocals. He's haunted by wistful affection and guilt singing: "Should've never been so quick to give my love away / I'm involved with two girls I can't / I've got this blood on my hands". Smino utilizes an invigorated delivery to tackle temptation head-on.
"Blood On My Hands" serves as a temporary escape from life's woes submerged in a smoky, strobe-lit trance.
