Our Reframed session with Tate is out now! We collaborated with @TateCollective and a team of young creatives to create a special live version of our single 'Empower' ft. @afronautzu, @ahnanse & @tinymanmusic inspired by an artwork from Tate's collection. We chose ‘African Spirits’ by Samuel Fosso. Empower motivates listeners to take on the world. African Spirits reminds us of 14 people who really did this. Fosso impersonates influential figures such as Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba, Angela Davis, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. He suggests that anyone can embody their influence and leadership. We feel like this powerful energy complemented the energy of Empower and the message behind it. Watch the full live version now.
