Don't Wanna Know

Sweet groove and warm vocals - this is what Beharie is.

"Don't Wanna Know" is his latest piece, the focus track of the Beharie // Beharie EP. Magnificent indie-soul, if you will.

It comes with a stunning music video that explores issues of masculinity, frustration, identity & sensuality in young males through a powerful visual landscape. It’s the story of the lead character Erik losing his best friend, a unique narrative that’s expertly delivered by Norwegian director Martin Bremnes. He elaborates:

I wanted to make this film to portray a phase in life that can often be extremely confusing, anxious, and filled with overwhelming emotions, while at the same time challenging the concept of masculinity and exploring if there is room for vulnerability within it. The main character goes through a phase of wanting to be masculine, at the same time he is feeling overwhelmed by confusing feelings related to his best friend. "Am I not tough enough for him? Do I need to train more?”
Personally, I am frustrated to have grown up with the feeling that I have to meet certain requirements to be "masculine" and that vulnerability has never had a place in the definition of the term. I want to explore these aspects of myself, and see if I can take back a part of me that I have been hiding since I was young.
I have no intention of starting a debate, but have a burning desire to create a beautiful piece of film that will make you reconsider your perception of masculinity and to show that vulnerability has a central role in it.
