The Child Of Lov - "Fly" [Official Video]

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

The Child Of Lov drops the video for his stomping electro gospel anthem "Fly" directed by PENSACOLA. The video - shot in Wildwood, New Jersey - bears all of the familiar trappings and neon signage of an aging resort town mixed with the deviance of the petty crimes, abundant smoke and racy activities in off-road hovels that often glitter the underbelly of youth. "Fly" takes a magnifying glass to the art of surviving it all. The footage might induce you to wonder if this is what Larry Clark's KIDS would have looked like on summer vacation. This clip follows the equally compelling video for "Give It To The People", which dropped last month. Though this track is a little less irie, the average everyday realism of the visual direction is consistent across both pieces. The video for "Fly" is buoyed by the stomping track from The Child Of Lov. The song accentuates the lingering suspense that accompanies uncertainty; a natural byproduct of going out into the world and getting lost in order to find oneself, even if only for a summer.
