The "Next 2 U" music video featured a hard-hitting dance sequence, and the brandishing of Palestinian flags and keffiyeh-inspired clothing.
R&B singer Kehlani released a song and music video on Friday in support of Palestine amid the ongoing struggle in Gaza.
The “Next 2 U” music video, which featured a hard-hitting dance sequence, and the brandishing of Palestinian flags and keffiyeh-inspired clothing, opens with a quote from award-winning poet and author Hala Alyan: “Keep your moon/We have our own/Keep your army/We have our name/Keep your flag/We have fruit and in/All the right colors.”
The video then cuts to show the words of a popular pro-Palestinian chant: “Long live the intifada.” The Arabic word “intifada” commonly translates to “uprising” in English.
“We tried to make a scroll honoring the names of thousands of deceased children,” the video reads at its conclusion, encouraging viewers to look through Al Jazeera’s list of child casualties since Oct. 7, 2023. “The list was so long that our fastest scroll at 3 minutes was illegible.”
