Twelve’Len – Loyal (Music Video)

DIRECTED: Evan (flowercop) Ressler & Twelve’Len
PRODUCED: FnZ & Mickey De Gra

As the year is coming to a close, twelve’len pays homage to R&B and soul legends, Al-Green and H-Town in his video for “Loyal”. The Miami artist, channels his inspirations to create a slick and smooth video that opens up different interpretations for “Loyal”.

““This video and record is an homage to H-Town and Al Green. I’ve picked up a lot from them artistically and personally,” Twelve’Len tells The FADER via email. “The past two years have been challenging and I have learned to be patient. I want my fans to listen and interpret ‘Loyal’ on their own while I pose the question: Do your actions determine your loyalty?”

2019 has been a big year for Twelve’Len. He performed as guest with a Denzel Curry during the Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? tour, dropped the anthem of 2019, with “Thank The Gang” and performed at the 1AM fest during Art Basel. Twelve’Len is set to be a special artist that’s going to push R&B forward and keeping it alive. We’re excited to see what he’ll contribute to the culture as we enter into the next decade.

PRODUCED: FNZ & Mickey De Gra
STREAM: Apple

Sultry, sensuous and passionate is what I can describe Twelve’Len’s latest single, “Loyal” and that is just an understatement. It’s a provocative ballad that’s determine to make out of mind and body experiences. Twelve’Len delivers a bedroom banger that seemingly feels like he can be a descendant of Al Green. This is modern day soul to its fullest degree. Producers, FNZ & Mickey de Gra orchestrate a soul catching song that’s silky, lustful and intimate. Again this is an understatement but to fully understand where I’m coming you have to go through the experience yourself.

“Loyal” demands close proximities and intimacy that’s immersive. It’s soulful and fascinating for these body to body moments to experience with your significant other.
