But the musical legacy of his great grandfather, Fats Waller, the legendary composer and jazz pianist, was going to show through, and so when Waller isn&#8217;t playing football, he&#8217;s pursuing his passion for music. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Faith Test&#8217; the latest song from Darren Waller&#8217;s upcoming album, &#8216;The Ripple Effect&#8217;, captures moments between his two worlds of New York and New Jersey. Shot by ARod2Up, we see Waller deliver his lyrics with earnest conviction, they mirror his very life; his trials and triumphs, his journey of resilience to self-discovery, and above all else, his unshakeable faith, that guides him throughout his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clip as an invitation for viewers to connect with the Darren on a much deeper level, to see the man &#8211; and artist &#8211; underneath the football helmet. While the twin passions of football and music might seem at odds with each other, Waller is certainly the one to be able to embrace both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8216;Faith Test&#8217; below, and find out more about Darren Waller, and his music, online via his <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/rackkwall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Linktree<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_82884\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sdZcOpwXPNE?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Darren Waller - Faith Test (Official Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/sdZcOpwXPNE\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The music video for &#8216;Faith Test&#8217; the latest song from Darren Waller&#8217;s upcoming album, &#8216;The Ripple Effect&#8217;, captures moments between his two worlds of New York and New Jersey.
