It is our honor to share with you the world premiere for Cardboard People’s new music video “And Still I Rise”. Set in an empty skateboard park on a gloomy day, the electronic pop R&B single powers forward with Yunoka Berry’s soulful vibe and sultry voice, offering up enough energy to lighten up the gloom.
The dystopian surroundings provide a mirror for the song’s central imagery: It’s hard to make it in our dystopian, late-stage capitalist world, and that’s under the best circumstances. It’s a rat race and the billionaires have all the cheese. No one’s willing to walk a mile in anyone else’s shoes. Those who are struggling to pay student debt, find a steady job, or affordable housing are even less empowered to make their own decisions. Yet you can still find strength in your own story and your struggle. This song can be the anthem to inspire anyone to pick themself up and be proud of who they are, fuck what the haters say.
