On May 18th, 2015, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, Bilal, released the video for his new single, “Satellites” on Yahoo.com.
In the video for, “Satellites,” Bilal specifically references everything from the recent police brutality to poverty, homelessness and mental illness, observing these things as a modern day shaman trying to alleviate the world of its problems. Unfortunately, some problems are more difficult to overcome. This is expressed by the video ending with Bilal being placed in a choke-hold by an officer and a sign reading, “Black Lives Matter.” Bilal is left on the ground unconscious and overwhelmed by what people can do to people.
