#NewMusic, Kelly Rowland’s Video for “Coffee” Adds to the Phrase “Black is Beautiful”

Kelly Rowland is back, and talking a little freaky on her latest single “Coffee.” There’s no confirmation of a new album just yet, but Rowland also released “Kelly” in 2018.

“Coffee” was shot in Miami, and features beautiful, Black women with brown and dark skin complexions. Everyone was shot and displayed with care. They had had swimsuits to match, compliment skin tones. Although short, Rowland packs a lot of beauty, and innuendos in the song.

“I just wanted the video to come across like, ‘Here we are standing in all of our beauty,” Rowland told Essence. “In all of our coffee colored shades, in all of our greatness and you going to take this in.’ And that’s what I wanted and that’s what I want every woman to feel like. So that was my intention, and to be honest, I was hungry for too much of that video.”

Check out the video below.
