Watch Speech Debelle's Inspirational Video For "The Work" feat. Miss Baby Sol

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Let’s take it across the pond for some late night motivation from South London lyricist Speech Debelle. Debelle makes her return with this brand new video “The Work” featuring Miss Baby Sol on the hook. The soul-searching single comes after a four year hiatus. After releasing two critically acclaimed albums (Speech Therapy, and Freedom of Speech), Debelle took a four year hiatus to pursue her other passions. She makes a powerful statement in her return with “The Work.” Says Debelle of the song:

‘The Work [addresses] having some sort of awakening in whatever form that may come in; whether it’s about who you’re around, what you want to change in your life, or having some sort of a breakdown… Which I had - which was the unravelling.

Look for the third full-length offering from Speech Debelle, Tantil Before I Breathe, coming soon.
