Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ JoJo Premieres New Music Video for “Small Things”
American singer-songwriter JoJo premiered a new music video for “Small Things” directed by Santiago Salviche.
The track is included on her fourth studio album “Good to Know”. It was written by Ismael Windley, Caroline Ailin, JoJo, Pluss, Brandon Colbein, Rob McCurdy and Chris Petrosino.
In the video description, she notes that she had been holding the video out of respect for the Black Lives Matter protests and rallies happening around the country.
“I've been trying to wait for the right moment to share this video with you. With everything going on in the world and in our own backyard, I didn’t want anyone to misconstrue its release as some kind of indication that I’ve moved on from the revolution at hand, here in America. I want to say it clear as day: Black people made me who I am. Not only my longest standing friendships, but also the record executives, mentors, teachers, romantic partners, and loyal fans who believed in me and took a chance on me - they have all shaped me. Without their support in every way, and without the artists who inspire me to make music, I would not exist. My support for Black lives/art/love/safety/freedom is not a phase nor does it have an expiration date. I’m honored to be a part of R&B culture and I never take my warm reception for granted.”
The clip shows a message, “The function of freedom is to try to free someone else.” - Toni Morrison- source : MTV
