MUSIC VIDEO: THE ROOTS – “THE FIRE” FT. JOHN LEGEND

Here’s the Rik Codero-directed video for “The Fire” from The Roots featuring John Legend, off their latest album How I Got Over, in stores now.

None of them appear in the video, and Codero explained:

“The Fire” is one of my favorite tracks off How I Got Over and really feels like something you’d hear in the theater. The line ‘you don’t say good luck, you say don’t give up’ inspired me to create a period piece narrative that stays true to the lyrics while adding another layer to the interpretation.
