Sean "Diddy" Combs has shared a video for Closer To God featuring Teyana Taylor.
Written by Love Records artist Stacy Barthe and produced by Diddy, Austin Brown, Brian London and Tommy Parker, the song appears on the New York-born rapper's star-studded new album, 'The Love Album: Off the Grid', which arrived in September.
Exploring spiritual themes, the track's accompanying cinematic clip was directed by Taylor with Diddy serving as Executive Producer. It was shot on location in Joshua Tree, California. Diddy said:
"Teyana is not just an incredible artist, she's my sister. She has this undeniable force and raw emotion she brings to every project. When we began conceptualizing Closer To God, her name was at the forefront of my mind. I had to convince her to come out of retirement, but I knew she would perfectly capture the spiritual essence and depth of the song. Collaborating with her on both the song and its visual was like harmonizing with a kindred spirit. Together, we've created something truly special."
Taylor added: "Working on Closer To God was a spiritual journey in itself. The song's message of love and divine connection resonated deeply with me, and visually representing that was a beautiful challenge. I believe we've created something that will touch people's souls. The video captures the profound sentiment of feeling divinely connected when in the presence of true love. It paints a picture of raw emotion, vulnerability, and the magic of finding someone who brings you closer to the divine."
In addition to Taylor, the record also boasts collaboration with The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, H.E.R., Babyface, John Legend, French Montana, Busta Rhymes, Ty Dolla $ign, Kehlani, 21 Savage and more.
