The “worstway” video takes place inside the mind of Jacob Creedmoor, the protagonist of the “themesong” and “stay volk” videos and the figure at the center of the story of Mobley’s forthcoming Cry Havoc! EP. “The video sees time and memory collapse on themselves as Jacob tries desperately to piece together an important part of his past,” said Mobley. ‘‘worstway’ is the only love song on the record and the video explores Jacob’s devotion to his partner against the backdrop of his growing suspicions that she’s hidden something from him.”
This EP is the latest project in a career that has already spanned multiple artistic mediums. Recently, Mobley composed the theme music for Webby and Anthem Award-winning SiriusXM & Smithsonian podcast All Music Is Black Music, hosted by Selema Masekela and featuring guests Kelly Rowland, Ne-Yo, St. Vincent, and many more. Earlier this summer, Mobley performed his original score at the first-ever live taping of the podcast at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. Prior to that, Mobley’s 2021 release Young & Dying in the Occident Supreme made waves around the world with “James Crow,” a critically acclaimed pop-rock song with a political conscience.
