Crediting her son for giving her the “confidence” to star in her first music video in more than ten years, Diana Ross uses the visual format to tease her new single.
The 77-year-old legendary chanteuse thanked her youngest child, Evan Ross, now 33, and Ross Naess, 34, for making her feel comfortable in front of the camera for the Amanda Demme-helmed video of her forthcoming single ‘All Is Well.”
About the film shoot the the former Supremes-front woman stated: “My sons gave me the confidence and encouragement to make this video. After spending almost two years not performing and not being in front of the camera, they supported me in easing back into being around lots of people. These three people really took care of me: Evan Ross (producer), Amanda Demme (director), Ross Naess (photography), and so many others. I am filled with appreciation for the work that they all did to make this happen.”
Her newest single as well as recently released title track ‘Thank You,’ ‘All Is Well,’ and ‘If the World Just Danced’ , are part of the superstar’s first original album in fifteen years (following ‘I Love You’ from 2006) scheduled for formal release this Friday (11.05) via Decca Records.
On what inspired her latest LP collection, Diana said: “I spent the past year recording new music and this music is a reflection of the joy and the love and the gratitude that I feel every day. It’s an album of great appreciation for life, and for all of you.” “For me there was an urgency in making a meaningful album, working with what is happening now in our world. Through the power of music we are creating a new kind of conversation that supports our choices and the decisions that we make.” “This collection of songs is my gift to you with appreciation and love. I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to record this glorious music at this time.”
