The video and song for “Testify Love” have a positive and uplifting feel. The beat and sound were perfect as I grooved around my apartment. A perfect feel and vibe for our current times discussing the uplifting sensation we get from love.
Drawing inspiration from Motown, Gladys Knight, and Aretha Franklin. Inspired by these artists, eventually, she would perform alongside David Bowie as a backup vocalist while also releasing her own material.
