INIKO x ONEPLUS Presents: ELEMENTS

I am proud to present ELEMENTS in partnership with @OnePlusTech

I was super intrigued when I was asked to work with OnePlus and Mahogany to create something cool with this OnePlus 11 phone. I use my phone for everything so I was ready to see just how much I could do. We didn’t use the traditional gear to make this film, so we were able to get a lot done in a little time and if you know anything about being an artist on social media - that’s what you need when shooting content. I thought bringing the device out in the elements was a great way to show people exactly who I am and what I’m connected to. I can't wait to give this short glimpse into my psyche.

Thanks to OnePlus for believing in my vision and empowering me to make this film precisely how I envisaged it. Enjoy.

I've never seen a person live their own inner vision so clear!!! This was breathtaking both visually and spiritually!! Wow!

[BUNEXTUDNA]

Spirituality, quantum physics, inner knowledge, philosophy, astrophysics, is what unites us all 🤍 These are the united we stand. Divided we fall.

[bmozale]

Orishas manifested, Come through Ancestors we are cosmic beings first

[numinousisaac]

Iniko is synchronization, synchronization is Iniko. Bring us back into the fold, I will stand with you. The energy you give us is foreign yet familiar, familial. Thank you Iniko for teaching us and crafting this beautiful example for us to experience. We will follow.

Kudos to OnePlus for smartly getting on board with an artist who is truly making art true their vision. This was gorgeous and gave me shivers.

[lisajames]

Can't you FEEL OUR ANCESTORS vibrations through INIKO? I CAN! FLOODS OF TEARS STREAM DOWN MY FACE just watching this deep and very penetrating message that connects to my soul! Thank you INIKO for using and allowing your sacred vessel as a channel for our ANCESTORS to convey essentially the LOST TEACHINGS and to help BRING BACK ORDER to this planet that desperately needs cries out for it! YOU ARE A WARRIOR! AND I'M HERE FOR IT!

THEIR VOICE SOUNDS TO CALMING
< 3

I love how they don't see themselves as a "person" but as a being part of this world who is connected with the earth

[livingyourbestlife]

This being's high frequency illuminates World wide🌹🦋👽❣

[sabastian_e_wilson]

I'm literally crying, thank you for sharing this... I've been uninspired for a while now... Uninspired in my truth... The flame is lit again. From this and other things, my light has been renewed; my flames whip and my embers crackle. Thank you...Oh Beloved.🍃✨🦋✨🍃

[MtotoWaPharao]

Only those who are awake will get your message clearly

[bella_ciao_]

Thank you to everyone who made this beautiful work. <3

[newtonsclaw]

as someone nonbinary this hit me particularly deep I love your message and it inspires me to create my own roots thank you so much for expressing your soul so openly

[floofzykitty]

Can we talk about how this is supposed to be a phone advertisement but the only thing related to it is that it was filmed on that phone? I really feel like this is the way to go about brand tie ins. Brands should support artists as sponsors, not force them to become sellouts by making them parrot off a script.

[roderickbaisden]

The opening of the video made me think of two Orishas and that was both Obatala and Yemaya given the fact that they’re both depicted with beads covering their faces in artwork.

[sheila]

I have had this internal conflict for a long time of wanting to honor my roots and where I came from when I feel like I am drawn to the cosmos. It felt disrespectful to my ancestors to care so much about what else is out there and feeling like that is my home. You've shown me that I can reconcile both these sides of me. You don't know how much this is going to change my life 😭 thank you for being genuine and representing those of us who want to exist just as we are.

[ouranoswealthgroup]

‘To tear down the walls we ourselves have created’ faith over fear. Keep creating from on high!!! Glorious message 👑

[poweredbyteatarot]

I'm in awe, I have chills. Your talents are limitless. Opening up our subconsciousness to truths that conformity has buried, you are a visionary.

[trennahs]

This.
Here.
Full Stop.
I felt this on a cellular level.
Amazing how 2 completely opposite elements can have the grounding, unexplainable and inescapable pulling spirit has on us.
Gratitude for sharing this side of life with us Iniko.
Blessed Be
p.s. when the aliens come get you PLEASE PLEASE take me with you!!!!

[Carlyhyer]

Iniko, thank you for putting so much intention into your work. I see so many people hating on you saying "you're milking this song", but for me, you are creating a beautiful narrative around this song that unfolds and reveals its meaning before us as we witness each beautiful creation. You're opening dialogues that so many of us are afraid to speak (or are too ignorant to understand), and this is what true art is all about. In this time of instant gratification, thank you for taking the TIME to put intention into your work and letting us marinate in it as we deconstruct the deeper meanings and cultural values you present. Look past those negative comments and people who only find you as a threat to themselves. Your work is amazing and if this is what you do with one song, I can't wait to see what you'll do with a whole album.

[zarinahjones]

I felt drawn to Iniko from day 1…I know exactly why…I felt/feel a sense of familiarity with Iniko and i stand with Iniko….every song I feel like is a message from our ancestors…thank you Iniko❤❤❤
