Enter Into A Steamy 80s Vampire Thriller With Allan Rayman

Allan Rayman has been stuck in my head for months. The enigmatic singer released his 2nd record in February. With it came a (slightly) more clear picture of the madness behind the man.
Allan is out to send you into a frenzy of mystery and confusion. His music paints the portrait of a man who struggles to deal with his own demons – and in confronting them Mr. Roadhouse has been unleashed, offering a deeper look into the grittier side of Allan’s alter-ego.
Just last week, The Fader premiered the next chapter of the Allan Rayman’s visual saga. This man makes short films, not music videos. Verona’s Obsession is a 2-part film that seems to keep up with the trend of battling fame, exposure, and desire. A desire for Allan, and his own desire for privacy that is.
Featuring Roadhouse 01 tracks Left Alone and 13, Allan Rayman fuses R&B swagger with hip-hop grit while successfully telling compelling stories the way a country artist would.
Side note – the fact that this clip runs 5:12 is a stroke of brilliance. A nod to 512 Productions, Allan Rayman’s own label/brand.

“Verona’s Obsession Vol. 1,” the new clip from Allan Rayman
About creatures of the night, vampires and stalkers alike. The song is all open-highway rock in a chrome sports car, and Rayman’s confrontational vocal delivery adds a sense of urgency to Gabriel Adelman’s visuals. His barks encourage us to interpret the mysterious relationship of Rayman and his fan, from the unwelcome propositions to the arguably dream-sequenced bloodletting.
“In a celebrity-obsessed world, I wanted to show that the fantasy of fandom often has a darker reality,” Adelman told The FADER over email. “I drew inspiration from my favourite early 80’s music videos and films, such as ‘Thriller’ and Evil Dead. It’s a format I’ve been wanting to work in since obsessively watching Much Music Video Countdown as a kid.”
The video’s second volume will be released in spring 2017.
Next month, the enigma himself will make his mark on Montreal.
