Usher and H.E.R. "Risk It All" in New Music Video
Lifted from ‘The Color Purple.’
Usher and H.E.R. have unveiled the ethereal visuals for their collaborative track “Risk It All.” A standout from The Color Purple‘s soundtrack, the video sees the pair deliver the soulful piano-led cut amidst a captivating group of dancers.
Directed by Dave Meyers, the video brings the track’s raw emotion to life, with the multifaceted musicians matching each other’s energy – and dance moves – perfectly. The track is co-written by H.E.R. herself, who also appears in the film.
“I don’t mind / Feeling like I’m bound to fall / Close my eyes / Baby, I would risk it all / Just to be in love / I just wanna be in love / Be in love,” the duo croons on the chorus.
The Color Purple (Music From And Inspired By) Soundtrack also features the likes of Alicia Keys, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennifer Hudson, Missy Elliott, Coco Jones and Jorja Smith. Per Billboard, “Risk It All” is also expected to appear on Usher’s forthcoming ninth studio album, Coming Home – expected to drop the same day he graces the Super Bowl halftime stage.
