Corinne Bailey Rae reveals static new video for \u2018Green Aphrodisiac\u2019, which is laced with symbols and contemporary movement dance.<\/span><\/p>\n
Corrine talks about what it was like making the video, which is available on her YouTube channel now:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cI absolutely loved making this video<\/i>,\u201d said Corinne. <\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cThe song \u2018Green Aphrodisiac\u2019 is about intoxicating spring days and nights, I wrote it with Paris and Amber Strother from KING. It is about sensuality and connecting with the body and how we are part of nature so I was so excited to make a video where I was working with two incredible dancers to create a piece where we were moving like one organism, one flower turning to the sun. The choreographer\u00a0gave us some beautiful movement and I really got lost in it. It is my first experiment with contemporary dance after dancing ballet for years as a child, but certainly not my last.<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
