After releasing his visual for “Gods” exclusively on Tidal last week, Maxwell makes the video available for all. Directed by Philip Andelman, the video shows Maxwell in Los Angeles, where he takes a joy ride around the city in his Lamborghini.
“Inspiration stemmed from having an experience of sort of seeing the spiritual parallel universe — that which can’t be seen,” Maxwell told Billboard. “Art is subjective, visions evolve and I want fans to interpret the video on their own. I hope they enjoy it.””
“Gods” is lifted from Maxwell’s latest album, blackSUMMERS’night, which released last summer.
Watch Maxwell’s music video for “Gods” below.
On May 23, Maxwell will kick off his summer tour in Nashville, Tenn. with special guests Common, Ledisi and Leela James. The tour will run until June 23 in San Diego, Calif.
