Russell Taylor Releases Quarantine Style Music Video for “Come Morning”

Quarantine isn’t stopping creatives, and Russell Taylor is proof of it. After releasing his latest single “Come Morning,” he has put together a quarantine style music video for the single. Not just by himself, but with others as well.

I released Come Morning on whim, I needed something creative to do. The Quarantine has everyone feeling so discombobulated. We feel disconnected from ourselves, and from each other. The weeks are passing with no haircuts, nor pedicures, or fancy nights out nor hot dates–all things that remind us of who we are–our best selves,” mentions Taylor.

Tonight, at 9:00pm (est) / 8:00pm (cst), Taylor will be hosting a #ComeMorningRussell IG LIVE (@RSOULSTAR) video premiere party with a few friends stopping by. He is also currently in the studio adding finishing touches to his upcoming project, scheduled to be released later this summer.

I contacted 35+ Instagram strangers in different cities, countries even, and asked them if they’d “play in the paint with me” in my new music video. We gave each participant the direction “step into your sexy as if Quarantine ends tonight at 6pm and your DM crush is en route to you” and then a brief primer of how to frame shots. And voilla…some real special magic happened. Picture it, all of these beautiful strangers reminding themselves just how sexy they are…working together while apart, most not ever having met. I’m ecstatic with the result. It is a testimony to the power of Art and the human spirit. We all just want connection especially now. This is what art is meant to do; artists are meant to draw folks out of the grey. I hope you enjoy!

Check out the video below, and get “Come Morning” here.
