The legendary Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley brings us his latest single "WISEMEN", accompanied by a stunning music video filmed in the vibrant streets of Medellín, Colombia. Available from June 14, 2024 on all digital platforms, "WISEMEN" is a work that invites us to reflect on the nature of love and the history that repeats itself over time.
The lyrics of "WISEMEN" are a poetic meditation on how even the wisest men have fallen into the snares of love. The song mentions historical figures such as King Solomon and King David, suggesting that no matter how great a man is, we are all vulnerable to the power of love.
Chorus:
"Wise men try and fail, because like a fool they will fall in love with you. I used to hope you would stay, now I just hope to keep in touch with you."
The video for "WISEMEN" was recorded in various locations in Medellín, including its famous metro cable and viewpoints that offer panoramic views of the Aburrá Valley. Marley's connection with this country and its culture is recently boosted by his last visit to the country of Colombia where he also had a collaboration with the Colombian singer Kevin Florez 'Quien Dijo Miedo', with the collaboration of Javier Fonseca, of Javier Alerta, as a local producer who has previously worked with the Marley family.
The video was directed by B+ and the photography was directed by Eric Coleman, ensuring exceptional visual quality. The production featured a talented team including Pablo Aguilar and local producers Javier Fonseca, Daniel Buitrago, Guillermo Camacho, and Alejandra Gómez.
"It's great to do the things you like, to enjoy the process while contributing and feeling happy doing it. Being part of this production team is a wonderful experience. I only have gratitude for Damian Marley and the entire team with whom we have already produced three audiovisual works."
