Theophilus London x The Menahan Street Band - "Rio" [Official Video]

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

Theophilus London has unveiled a video for his 80's pop sounding single, "Rio"--inspired by  a trip to Brazil but set in New York. Starting out with a retro feel (flapper dresses and all) the video sees Theophilus engaged in the timeless art of the serenade but in unmistakably 2013 fashion. Backed by  the smoothness of The Menahan Street Band, the romantic clip fits the track perfectly. Word on the street is that the song will be found on London's next album, out this September. Watch the visual below.
