JVC and song\/video producer Mitch Burman chose to use the simple power of black and white throughout the video, which was skilfully shot by Amir Valinia at AV1 Productions. Released in time for the recent US Presidential Elections, it conveys a clear and resonating thought about the current state of affairs in our neighbourhoods, politics, judicial system, and the fears of rising immigration. The black and white face paint applied evenly to each side of JVCs face is very striking, with the video frequently flipping the point of view from black to white and so on &#8211; everything that was black is now white &#8211; and vice versa. Our concept of reality is adjusted and each flip paints a completely different picture of John Vincent Curry &#8211; but he is still the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out John Vincent Curry online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johnvcurry\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/johnvincent.curry\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, and his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnvincentcurrymusic.com\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>, where you can find out more about his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnvincentcurrymusic.com\/shows.html\" target=\"_blank\">upcoming performances<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"content_sub\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block;
