Following on from debut single “That Morning”, London-based musician and bandleader Rachid Fakhre aka Skydaddy returns with the new offering, “His Masterpiece”.

It is a beautiful, texturally rich song with gorgeous violin, flute and steady percussion combined with flowing vocals. Very emotionally evocative, the track just feels right, from start to finish. Both released cuts would be part of Skydaddy’s upcoming debut EP titled Pilot, which is set for release on February 2 next year.

Earlier this month London-based musician Rachid Fakhre aka Skydaddy released his debut single “That Morning” and now he is sharing the beautiful accompanying music video, shot between South London and his parent’s native Lebanon.

Directed by Billy Gadd, it is an emotional and cinematic piece that works perfectly with the euphoric and ambitious song, which sees him integrating cello, violin, flute, piano and complex vocal harmonies.

Speaking on the video, he says: “The video mostly takes place in a delusion of grandeur in which I am a cult leader. At one point I lose it and run to the ocean and swim to Lebanon where I come out of the sea and begin a journey of self-discovery”.
