Nahko has shared a video for his new single, Dragonfly, which stars Paris Jackson.
The song opens the Medicine for the People frontman's debut solo album, 'My Name is Bear', which is due on October 20. Speaking about the track and video, he said:
“There are some puzzles left unfinished that get better with age. This song, left dormant for years, has come back to life with not only fresh interpretation, but perhaps new meaning thanks to my dear friend Paris Jackson.
It's a perfect fit, no longer undone. It was a vulnerable thing, digging through the archives and dusting off this tune. With Paris creating a visual narrative of natural beauty, the journey of herself discovery and transformation shines boldly. Working with her came with such ease and humility. It is rare to find someone so genuinely themselves and so patiently available to co-create magic. Her brave approach to standing up for what she believes in and resisting the traditional format we're trained to follow is clearly symbiotic with the song, the symbolism of the Dragonfly, and the work of myself and my band, Medicine for the People. It has been a joy to witness Paris empowering the world with her courage and I'm grateful to have captured a glimpse of her coming of age in this visual collaboration.”
Jackson added:
"This video is something that I hold very dear to my heart. There was so much love and light radiating from everyone involved throughout the creative process. It was amazing to see everyone working together to create this beautiful magic. I am so grateful to have been welcomed so warmly into Medicine Tribe, as well as to be a part of the bigger message and everything Nahko has been working towards."
Nahko will embark on a US and European headlining tour in support of the record, which includes UK dates in Manchester, Bristol and London.
