John Legend is no stranger to using his art to raise awareness and shine light on social issues, but the cinematic music video for his latest single ‘Fireflies‘ may be his most poignant yet.

A black-and-white affair, the Paul Hunter-directed clip tells the story of modern Blackness in America – a dichotomy of optimism and oppression.

Tackling tough topics such as systemic racism, police brutality, poverty, and more, ‘Fireflies’ addresses despair and hope in a masterful way with its powerful imagery and lyrics.

“I, I’m a candle in the dark / And I come from a divine spark,” he sings before declaring, “And I’m my ancestors’ thoughts / And their wildest dreams, their wildest dreams.”

Accompanied by the Hollywood Cinematic Orchestra, the video for ‘Fireflies’ follows the single ‘Daylight‘ as tastes from Legend’s October 23-due new album ‘Muse.’

Ahead of the LP’s arrival to digital shelves, hop inside to get acquainted with ‘Fireflies.’

With the clock ticking down to the unveiling of Kirk Franklin‘s October 30-due new album ‘I Am What I Am,’ expect to hear and see much of the Gospel legend in the coming weeks in its support.

Set to be delivered via a new partnership with Uptown Records, anticipation for the project’s offerings is already high if the response to its heavily teased, horn-filled single ‘This Time‘ is to judge by.

Released Friday (September 25), ‘Time’ sees Franklin reunite with his history-making ‘Rain Down On Me‘ co-star GloRilla.

“Feel it inside this time / We gon’ be fine this time / We gon’ be fine, we gon’ be / Hands in thе air, hands in the air,” Kirk and choir declare over a prominent sample of Shawty Lo‘s 2007 smash ‘Dey Know.’

Later bringing the tune to life with a Devon Libran-directed music video, get acquainted with ‘Time’ via its official visual below.

Directed by Earthboi, the simple yet effective clip sees the duo navigate the heights of longing and emotion.

The ‘Heaven Baby’ video lands on the heels of Starr’s shining performance at All Points East 2026 in London. It also makes its debut ahead of the 24-year-old’s headline slot at the NFL London Halftime Show later this month.
