Just a week after surprising fans with his latest single, ‘Testify’ (as we reported here), Grammy-nominated crooner Robin Thicke is dropping the Pro J-produced tune’s accompanying music video.

Directed by Arrad Rahgoshay, the visual – much like the song – pays homage to the losses of Thicke’s life (primarily his late father/actor Alan Thicke, former wife Paula Patton, and more).   A simple, yet effective clip, the 41-year-old strums his guitar under the California sun while cooing the heart-tugging tribute.

“This video is about the struggles we all face at some point in our lives,” he said. “And how, with the love of God, family and friends we can overcome any obstacles and turn darkness into light.”
