LOS ANGELES, CA - There is a feeling of longing and desire for acceptance in all relationships, especially when love is at stake. Those emotions are at the heart of Mothh’s latest single, “More Love, Calypso,” and its accompanying music video.
Indie recording artist Mothh spends her life creating art, whether it is with paint or in a music studio. Her latest masterpiece is a culmination of her artistic abilities in which she accumulates and refines color and sound to draw herself and others towards light. In the case of “More Love, Calypso,” the light is the sense of longing towards the one you most desire.
“I’m inspired by music and nature,” said Mothh, an Atlanta native. “I’m at my best creatively after spending time decompressing in nature. Doing so allows me to translate feelings about my relationships into melodies and words.” Mixing those inspirations with music forms Mothh’s signature sound - a serial and pure blend of dynamic melodies with a strong bass and rhythm section to stabilize her pensive lyrics.
“More Love, Calypso” is a love song that enumerates the feelings of trepidation in sharing your inner-most feelings with a potential lover while facing the possibility of losing that person in doing so. “It’s about starting to crush on someone and not having control over how you feel,” she explained. “There is a distance between you and another person, like a dance. You’re dancing around, trying not to break the spell at the beginning of a romance. You’re not saying too much but not saying too little. Otherwise, the magic might disappear.”
As a bicoastal resident of both Atlanta and LA, Mothh is no stranger to movement. As such, it felt natural to travel to Venice to shoot the music video. In typical Mothh fashion, the visuals are not like other videos - this one was shot with a Super 8 camera, harkening a sense of dreamy retro romance characterized in ‘50s movies.
Set to premiere on December 10th 2021, the music video was shot by Mothh’s friend and creative collaborator Sarah King. Instead of opting for multiple angles and numerous takes, the duo made the video in the canals of Venice in a gondola cruising down the iconic streets of Italy. Additional footage was captured on the Amalfi Coast.
“I want people to feel carried by the song,” she said. “As if they are on the gondola with me, floating through the canals, sun-kissed and dreamy.”
An artist of multiple mediums, Mothh’s primary goals are immaterial - namely, to live life as a loving person in service of others through soul connecting work. “My highest gift is to bring everyone into the present moment. Presence is what my intention is - to be present for myself and to be able to bring everyone to that place through art,” she said. “Presence is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give someone as an artist.”
With “More Love, Calypso,” Mothh has achieved her goal as fans from across the globe connect to her honest expression of the vulnerability of new love and the beauty in the journey of finding it.

RSN’L (pronounced “Arsenal”) is a Christian hip-hop artist armed with a sharp lyrical pen guided by the word of God. His music not only shares the message of God’s Word but combines it with creative punchlines, high energy and an authentic dedication to creating songs that resonate with the listener. His latest single, “TILL I SEE JESUS,” which features producer OnBeatMusic, finds him discussing the persecution he’s faced in his faith walk and how he won’t let anything stop him.
The track “TILL I SEE JESUS” is one that came from commitment. Written around 2AM, it’s a song that was born once RSN’L entered a flow state during the creative process. The words came pouring out of him and by 11AM, he was headed to the booth to record them. A natural process like this is commonplace as no song is created by forcing it, compromising or anything of the sort.
“I’m not going to stop and I’m not going to quit. I’m pouring everything into this and it's setting me free. There’s nothing in the way of me doing this because as I continue, obstacles are moving out of my way. I’m doing my part by doing what God called me to do which is to teach and encourage people through truth. Everything I write can be tied into truth or scripture.” he said.
The biblical references throughout “TILL I SEE JESUS” are surrounded by ever evolving production from OnBeatMusic that creates an atmosphere of triumph and confidence. His flow switches throughout the song keep the energy at a high level and showcase his namesake excellently. The name “RSN’L” represents how every verse he spits is a weapon in the arsenal of faith, and each song is aimed at the hearts of listeners who need transformation more than entertainment.
RSN’L makes music for the mind and culture of Christ. He’s not making music to make money nor is he interested in creating a fame centric fanbase. He was called to do something that is not widely accepted and he is okay with that. He knows God has equipped him with the tools and the gifts to share His message and it will reach those it is supposed to.
“Regardless of what people think, I’m the one who has to have my heart and motives right because it is not my intent to try to capitalize off of the Gospel or even use the talents I have for my own glorification.” he said.
RSN’L loves that he can use music to share God’s Word because music itself works both sides of the brain at the same time and creates neuropassages. He also knows God created the world with His mouth by speaking and that shows that words have power, a voice has power and what we say creates. By making music based on the will of God and using the talents God has given him to share the message through the music, he is impacting people directly.
“The heart is our minds, the will and the emotion. Music can impact a person so heavily that it steers their future. So when they listen to God’s Word through my music, they’re submitting themselves to the truth within it.” he said.
RSN’L’s full story is a living breathing testimony to how God’s power is truly life changing. From his days growing up in Englewood on the South Side of Chicago to enlisting in the military and to now being a father and husband, his journey is one of faith and persistence. He continues to share God’s word through ministry and music.
“TILL I SEE JESUS” feat. OnBeatMusic is available on streaming services now.
