Von Alexander - Solange (Official Music Video)
/Last night we had the pleasure of seeing the video premier of Von Alexander’s (who was featured in CopyWrite Magazine Issue 14) new single “Solange”.
A group of eclectic locals gathered in the space to see this production, whose teasers of black women dressed in skin tones and all their glory, was really all about.
The video was EVERYTHING! There is a soulfulness that is presented by showing these women of color intimately while removing the hypersexualization that usually accompanies our image. It has a weaving appeal that takes the lyrics and the scenes of melanated complexions making us focus on a beauty that does not have to be described but just “IS” without question.
When we asked Von what he thought about his video he said:
“It turned out the way I wanted it to.”
We need more art like this yall. We need to keep challenging the image of societal standards of US.
See it for yourself and let us know what you think.
