Visionary artist Greentea Peng unveils a new video today for “Green”, directed by ABOVEGROUND and Greentea herself, a monochrome meditation filmed against rolling countryside hills. The video breathes new life into one of the standout tracks from her recent album ‘TELL DEM IT’S SUNNY’, a record that saw Greentea move deeper into introspection and self discovery, exploring the spiritual terrain between vulnerability and resilience.
Bathed in black and white tones, the “Green” visual feels like a moment of stillness after the storm, a grounding exhale that mirrors the song’s core message. The stripped-back aesthetic reflects a more pensive Greentea, as she wanders through open fields, immersed in solitude and reflection.
“Green touches on the necessary shedding of one's skin in order to evolve. The perpetual cycle of death and rebirth one must embrace upon the voyage inward, in the turbulent pursuit of knowledge of self, loss is inevitable and thus surrender becomes the order of the day.” - Greentea Peng
It has been a defining year for Greentea Peng. Her critically acclaimed second album ‘TELL DEM IT’S SUNNY’ was hailed as her most expansive and self assured project to date, a lush 14 track journey through self enquiry and creative rebirth. The album has earned album of the year praise from MOJO, who spotlighted its fearless blend of soul, dub and psychedelia.
Following a headline EU and UK tour in the spring, this past summer saw Greentea grace major stages including a transcendental performance on Glastonbury’s West Holts Stage. She also joined Little Simz as main support on her UK arena tour, a powerful pairing of two uncompromising voices defining the sound of contemporary British music.
The “Green” music video marks the closing of one chapter and the quiet stirring of another. With whispers of a brand new single arriving in the coming weeks, Greentea Peng is continually pushing forward with the same curiosity, honesty and spirit that has cemented her as one of the UK’s most vital artists.
