Last October, Dallas singer BeMyFiasco shared her debut album Where I Left You, which was intended to be a love letter to the work of Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and Da Bassment Cru. A list of inspirations like that might lead some people to create something entirely self-serious, but Where I Left You manages to remain lighthearted throughout. Freeing, dancefloor-ready tracks like "Through the Middle" balance out heavier ones like the Little Brother-assisted "Outside the Lines." Today, BeMyFiasco is sharing the video for "2 Car Garage," which was animated by CrypticDonuts (Tavia McMillan).
There isn't another song on Where I Left You like it. The song originally started as a voice note Phonte recorded, hoping that it would fit on an album he was working on at the time, but the match wasn't right. Phonte ended up holding onto the memo until BeMyFiasco told him about her experience chasing dreams in Los Angeles.
The result is a whimsical (and true) story about BeMyFiasco moving to L.A. to chase her dreams of being a musician and moving in with someone she found on Facebook. "My approach was somewhat like a story book sort of format, which was something Phonte and I discussed and came to really love the idea of," McMillan said about the video.
"I thought it would be fitting for it to have the light-heartedness of shows like Steven Universe and Adventure Time, but also have the uniqueness in style and visual story. Normally, I go through the process of designing the characters first, then storyboarding and timing things out for animation. Once all of this is completed, then the bulk of the work is the animation itself and all background details to bring it all together." Below, watch the video for "2 Car Garage," read a brief
