An Ode To Black People, Sy Smith Releases #NewVideo to “Sometimes A Rose Will Grow in Concrete”

 The Queen of Underground Soul, Sy Smith releases her follow up video to “Camelot.” “Sometimes A Rose Will Grow in Concrete” is described as an “ode to Black people.” In the continuation from “Camelot,” SRWGC also has content footage of her trip to Tanzania.

“This song is really an ode to Black people and to Blackness. It’s a meditation on what it means to come from the most impossible circumstances and emerge beautifully; like the rose that grows in concrete.”

Among the myriad of things this pandemic has severely disrupted for so many people is travel, especially summer holiday plans. Smith aims to alleviate our quarantine cabin fever with her scenic offering for her album’s ethereal title track.

Fans are taken on a journey through Tanzania, inviting them to experience the beaches of Zanzibar, the northern regions of Arusha, and the bustling streets of the once capital city Dar es Salaam.

Once I saw both videos (Camelot and SRWGC), I knew I wanted to release them as a two-part video postcard. I just didn’t know when I’d release this one. But when the pandemic hit and went on for two months already, I knew that it was time to share part two… because so many of us just want to get away, even if just momentarily.”

Check out the video below.
