“We imagined the song set in a retro-futuristic world, similar to movies like ‘Clockwork Orange,’ ‘Blade Runner’ or ‘HER.’ The youth are influenced by a programmed, internet/media driven society. Distracted, lazy, wasted society, destroying our world. We’ve exhausted our natural resources, while poverty and war continues to spread. The world is an hour-glass turned over, with the time running out.”
Prior to “History of Man”, which was a visual and audio narrative inspired by the epic poem “Paradise Lost“ by 17th-century poet John Milton, Illangelo was most notable for his role as executive producer on The Weeknd’s 2012 album “Trilogy” as well as singles by Drake and Wiz Khalifa and official remixes for Lady Gaga and Florence + The Machine. Clockwork is the first of more collaborations to come from Illangelo and Phlo Finister.
