Okay Acoustic: Kae Sun 'Ship And The Globe'


For the first installment of our Okay Acoustic series, we brought Ghanaian transplant Kae Sun to a park in Bushwick, Brooklyn for a stripped-down rendition of his Afriyie standout "Ship And The Globe" — which he reveals is about the "interaction between intimacy, space and distance" in any kind of relationship. Watch Kae Sun perform his slow-burning tune backed by springtime birds & buzzing Bushwick warehouses (whilst decked out in Gold Coast Trading) below for Okayafrica TV.
