All this as a woman’s hand slowly encroach around his shoulders and as strobe lights fill the background, creating what looks like a Hitchcockian-inspired acid trip."The Shadow Ceremony video is inspired by noir-film psychotic episodes and the blinding phenomena that love lays on you when you least expect it," Philip explains, "The blue and red lights are also intentional; signifying a color scheme that reflects trust and passion and how those details travel through your vanity and ego.”
