Giving beautiful harmonies, a spiritual message and looks, Ian Isiah shares the cinematic visual for ‘Loose Truth’ featuring Brooklyn-based essential workers, their families, Black and POC activists, artists, family and friends. Also, he partnered with Cash App to donate money to the people he featured in the video.
This music video was made to show the world that direct support to local Black and POC essential workers is a top priority, says Ian. Each family blessed me tremendously and it’s my duty to return the love. Massive thanks to Cash App for partnering up with me to deliver that blessing – right back into their pockets. Small organizations matter just as much as large ones do. As a matter of fact, direct support is an immediate response. Put the blessings in the pocket nearest to you and enjoy the beauty in the return.
Watch the video directed by Thuan Tran below; produced by Chromeo, who produced his forthcoming project ‘AUNTIE’. It is a capture of these times we’re in, and when we look back, we’ll be happy to say that Auntie represented the way he should.
