BALDWIN | JAMILA WOODS
Directed by VINCENT MARTELL
Music Video
The song is inspired by James Baldwin’s powerful “A Letter to My Nephew,” and its Vincent Martell-directed visual is set in what looks like an abandoned school on Chicago’s South Side, but as Woods described it in a statement, it’s “like Hogwarts, but Black.” As three students approach the school, they magically move through an outside wall and are transported into a beautiful space, where everyone is engrossed in the day’s teachings, handclaps turn into fireworks and caring camaraderie is found throughout.

HOW TO [HAIR] | ESPERANZA SPALDING
Directed by VINCENT MARTELL
Music Video
How To [Hair] amplifies and unfetters frequencies from multiple ancestral lineages vibrating at once, makes audible their multi-toned harmonization with one another For enjoying and honoring the unique combination of histories, geographies, wave patterns and shapes growing out of one’s own scalp, and appreciating all types of modern and historical art-gardens rooted in the scalps of others..

LEST WE FORGET [BLOOD] | ESPERANZA SPALDING
Directed by JORDAN PHELPS

"Spalding is well over a decade into one of the most fruitful and strikingly original careers in contemporary pop…the conceptual hook of 12 Little Spells only hints at the radically inventive nature of the songs themselves”
