Fimone’s latest lyric video for "The Guide" hits with the kind of raw energy and storytelling that leaves a mark. Recorded in New Orleans with Grammy-winning producer Greg Magers, this bold track blends country, blues, and rock, all while pulsing with the grit of the Crescent City.

Inspired by the life of Norma Wallace, the notorious madam who ran New Orleans' last brothel, Fimone taps into a complex historical figure with a personal twist. Through Wallace’s defiance and independence, Fimone finds an anthem of empowerment, one that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt the need to reclaim their own power. In Fimone’s words, “‘The Guide’ isn’t about someone outside yourself who can guide you, it IS you. You ARE the guide. Trust yourself.”


The lyric video beautifully complements this message. It's not just a visual aid; it’s a cinematic expression of Fimone’s vision. The video unfolds like a journey, each word serving as a signpost on the road to self-discovery. The lyrics are woven into scenes that evoke the spirit of New Orleans—gritty, mysterious, alive with history. Fimone’s delivery is unapologetic, with lines like “All I need from you is for you to just hold out your hand” reflecting a bold confidence that dares listeners to lead their own lives.


What’s striking is the subtle fusion of genres in "The Guide." The track’s alt-country foundation is infused with bluesy grit and rock edge, creating a sound as layered as the story behind it. It’s a sonic experience that mirrors the complex emotions of Norma Wallace’s life and Fimone’s own artistic journey. The lyric video elevates this experience, adding a visual depth that makes the message even more impactful.


As the first glimpse into Fimone’s upcoming EP, Fascination, set for release on October 25, 2024, “The Guide” promises more than just a collection of songs. The EP, recorded in Norma Wallace’s former brothel, captures the rebellious energy of the city and channels it into an exploration of personal growth and defiance. This lyric video is not just a teaser for what’s to come; it’s a declaration that Fimone is an artist who dares to tell stories that challenge and inspire.


"The Guide" is more than just a song—it's a call to arms, urging listeners to become their own champions. With its cinematic lyric video and Fimone’s fearless storytelling, this single sets the stage for an EP that promises to push boundaries and spark self-discovery.
