I really like the neon visuals, and the delivery of dialect through social media style thought-bubbles. The audible vocal style isn’t quite as magnetic for me, personally, but I really dig the vibes given off from this trailer. It looks like a unique title, worth keeping an eye on.

There’s a bit of a wait however, as theAfterpartydoesn’t begin until sometime in 2019.
