London/Dublin based singer Marcus has released his debut single, Obey - and it's a song that tackles an on/off relationships with a video telling a bittersweet tale of outlaw love.
Warning: video contains images that some people may find distressing
Citing his influences as Frank Ocean, Amy Winehouse, Skepta and Mos Def, Marcus wrote the tune over a year ago and he says that "even though someone can hurt you it doesn't change how you feel about them".
Having dropped out of college in 2015, Marcus started writing songs and began gigging around open mic nights in Ireland. The love of performing and songwriting took him to London in 2016 where he honed his craft while playing any and every night he could.
According to the press release, "with only a shoestring budget to work off, himself and the delivery driver at the takeaway he worked at, begged, borrowed and stole their way to making the beautiful and cinematic video to accompany the single".
The modern day Bonnie and Clyde story was directed by Alan Dunne and Stubborn Monkey Media.
