Fantasia revisits the ’90s in her video for “When I Met You,” lifted from her latest album The Definition Of. Directed by Derek Blanks, the video follows Fantasia’s journey to love from her high school days to marriage. Fantasia’s family also makes an appearance in the video. Her daughter Zion portrays the younger version of herself while her husband Kendall Taylor plays himself.
“It was so beautiful to create this video with my first born Zion. You see that glow all over her? I’m a proud Mommy and can’t wait for her gifts to bless the world the way she blesses mine every single day,” Fantasia wrote on Instagram.
She continued, “The #WhenIMetYouVideo is #TheDefinitionOf that ’90s throwback vibe. A true era of music! I play the teenage version of myself (T-Boz cut and hoop earrings y’all) blinded by a false idea of love.”
In a recent interview with Rated R&B, Fantasia explained what The Definition Of meant. “It represents real music,” she said. When I say that I’m not just talking about the singing, I’m talking about the horns that you hear, the guitar, the strings, the drum, the arrangement, the vocals.”
