SHOUT OUT TO OBAMA
August 7th, 2008Multi-cultural R&B/Pop group RefleXions releases viral music video and single “Something’s Gotta Change” featuring Barack Obama
(Washington D.C.) RefleXions new music video “Something’s Gotta Change” reflects the sentiment of the nation on more than one level. The timing for the release on YouTube brings it all together. Band leader and founder, Marcellus W.D. Crews describes the inspiration behind the song, “We originally wrote it three years ago. Looking around us and the people we knew, we felt hope for change was fading. Obama’s message perfectly mirrors our lyrics.” The three minute plus music video will debut, August 6, 2008 on YouTube at www.YouTube.com/refexionsmusic.
Originally set to be released on their upcoming album the group felt that now was the perfect time to put out the remix with Obama. “When we wrote it, it was our hope that others would relate to it. That others would also feel like something had to change and be moved to help that change along”, Brazilian native Ariane Pereira explains. The group hopes that fans will not see it as a partisan campaign ad but as a gesture of patriotism.
