Genre-bending artist and producer BLK ODYSSY unveils his chilling new video, “Last Resort,” from his recently released third studio album, 1-800-FANTASY, via EARTHCHILD/EMPIRE. The video serves as the grand finale to the conceptual and visual narrative of a turbulent teenage boy’s obsession with his elusive high school crush. Picking up from the suspenseful door knock in “Changes,” “Last Resort” plunges viewers into a dark and haunting climax, delivering a dramatic close to the saga.

BLK ODYSSY confronts himself and his crush in a series of tense and emotionally charged scenes, spiralling into a chaotic frenzy. The video masterfully captures his descent into mania, culminating in a shocking and dramatic arrest. With striking visuals and an intense storyline, BLK ODYSSY showcases his acting prowess, delivering a haunting portrayal of obsession and downfall.

Following his recent single and video “Changes,” his collaborations with Joey Bada$$ on “Stank Rose” and “XXX” ft. Wiz Khalifa and his performance of “Phase” on COLORS, BLK ODYSSY’s new album continues to expand genre boundaries and his artistic prowess, all while paying homage to his musical roots in R&B and funk.

Alongside the album release, BLK ODYSSY will embark on his North American and European “The Fantasy House tour,” kicking off in Austin on August 31 at Antone’s Nightclub. New age soul and funk artist Asha Imuno will be opening for BLK ODYSSY throughout the tour. The North American leg of the tour includes stops in Atlanta, Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, and more, culminating in a grand finale in Los Angeles at El Rey Theatre on October 1. Tickets are available here.

BLK ODYSSY is set for his first-ever performance in Africa at Cape Town, South Africa’s biggest music and lifestyle festival, Rocking With The Daisies, from October 3-6. Sharing the stage with artists like Snoh Alegra, Ayra Starr, and Smino, this milestone event will introduce his unique blend of alt-pop, indie rock, hip-hop, and R&B to a new audience.
