Director Peter Stepnoski captures all the oddity and charisma of Big VK on this ambitious visual for “Feel The Power” from Verbal Kent’s newest album “Anesthesia.” Verbal Kent says: “So, “Feel the Power” is a collection of stories presented in a sort of montage form, based on my life when I was a “younger” dude. We’ve all been “younger.” Growing up in Chicago, hanging out with good friends, trying stuff. Being ourselves, sort of finding our way. When discussing a video concept for the song, Peter, the director and I realized a great way to flash back and take viewers into my memories, was to literally do just that. In the video, Our main character played by comedian Beth Stelling is offered a tour of my mind and a look into a time of my life where I felt invincible. I wasn’t – but luckily I made it out just bibildy blurb deripdygshsb.”
