video premiere: brooklyn-based psychedelic soul singer leila adu celebrates human connectedness in striking “love cells” video

July 6, 2016

Check out Brooklyn-based musician Leila Adu’s newest music video, “Love Cells”. The psychedelic rock track is all about universal love, and the inherently spiritual love that we share with humanity, the Earth, and the cosmos. “’Love Cells’ represents the fact that we are all the same underneath—we are cellular. Acts of bigotry, racial hatred, war and poor-blaming and future disregard of global poverty and climate change, shows how the belief that we are separate is dangerous,“ Leila tells AFROPUNK.

The expressive, semi-surreal video was directed by Leila Adu and Nico Turner with choreography by Leila Adu, Gabriel Agape & Mor Mendel. Watch it down below!
