Directed by animator, filmmaker Halo Jones (Kylie Minogue, Seasick Steve, St Etienne), the cheerful and colorful new lyric video for the song “Natural Rhythm” by Joan Armatrading is an uplifting upbeat visual perfectly reflected by the sheer exuberance of the children animated therein. You can watch the new video HERE.
If the classical fluidity of the two dancers perfectly complemented the lyrics of the video for the first single, “Already There,” then this lyric video is the perfect accompaniment to the second, “Natural Rhythm.”
“Natural Rhythm” is the second single from Armatrading’s acclaimed new album Consequences (BMG), which has received high praise from the press. You can stream and purchase Consequences HERE.
