Reggae legend and Icon, Richie Spice is getting ready to release a music video for his song "Red Hot" and the imagery in the music video is filled with poetic symbolism.
A cover of the Max Romeo song of the same name (full title "Valley of Jehoshaphat (Red Hot)"), Richie takes the approach of being the storyteller who gives a view of where humanity is. Directed by Samo (Jah9, Chronixx, Jesse Royal), the use of the horns as a focus is telling (think the Archangel Gabriel), just as the man carrying the door is symbolic (the door is a portal to go to another place). Samo also subtly uses a young lady at the side of the road holding a rose and picking off the roses petals. This is another way of asking 'where is love?'
If you are a Richie Spice fan, and if you appreciate symbolism, you are gong to love the new music video coming from the artist.
Richie's new album, Together We Stand is due on digital retail shelves in June. Connect with him on Instagram via @1RichieSpice
