Follow on Google News | "No More," It's Not Just A Song: It's A MovementGospel songstress Archduchess of Divinity's new song is a plea to end sensless violence, hatred and injustice
By: Archduchess of Divinity The song "No More," is a call to stop the senseless tragic violence that we are seeing more and more of. The song evokes the names of slain martyrs Anthony McClain, Dante Wright, Steven Bullock, George Floyd, and others as she sings, "No more police brutality, " Stop seeing us as trees." But this is much more than a song of support for the Black Lives Matters Movement, it also is a cry for, "No more school shootings," " Columbine... Sandy Hook...Parkland;" The music video had its red carpet premier to a star studded, packed house . The crowd gave the video a rousing round of applause. The music video, available on YouTube, Vevo, Second Team Entertainment on Roku, was directed by Michael Barnett, and uses powerful archival footage as well as beautiful and tragic imagery to drive home the message that this needs to be more than just a song, it needs to be a movement. Barnett uses black and white footage of Martin Luther King Jr, Malcom X, the Newark riots from 1967, and brings us to the present with footage of George Floyd and the BLM protests of today. He also uses archival footage of the holocaust, an atomic bomb test, and anti-gun protests of today. One of the most poignant moments of the video comes as the music stops and we see a gun being fired out of a car window, and a cut to a woman (Yvonne Trice, who actually lost her son to gun violence), crying over a headstone in a graveyard. The video also shows Archduchess of Divinity leading protesters as a call to action. Like "People Get Ready," "No More, " is more than a gospel song. It is a call to action for all of us to raise our voices together, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual prederence, or religious beliefs, and sing "No more bloodshed, please. " Archduchess of Divinity will be using this platform on upcoming tours and personal appearances to spread The Word. Watch for future announcements for how you can join this movement. https://www.youtube.com/ End
