Hey, Britt Nicole fans! Have you seen her new video? It just released last week! I know this type of music isn't everyone's "cup of tea," but I love how her mainstream sound has the power to attract people (especially younger people) to hearing songs with a positive message, and songs that are rooted in God's love. This particular song has been "remixed" for Top 40 radio, and I think that's pretty awesome and amazing! The possibility of this leading someone to Christ is definitely there, and that can never be a bad thing!
From Britt's website . . .
With her career continuing to flourish over the last few years, Britt
has made a point of maintaining a close connection to her beloved
supporters. “After shows I always go and hang out with my fans, talk to
them and get to know them,” she says. “I try to take as much time as I
can with them, people really want to share their stories.” Noting that
her fans “know they can be honest with me because I’m honest with them,”
Britt points out that those stories also play a key part in helping to
shape songs like “Gold.” “A lot of girls come up to me with their heads
down, and I can just tell that they’re feeling broken,” she says. “I
love that they can come into the show feeling one way, and then leave
feeling like there’s hope.”
To foster that feeling of hope on a
grander scale, Britt has extended the self-esteem-raising sentiment
behind “Gold” to the song’s powerful video. Featuring a cast of
characters dealing with issues common among today’s teens (such as
eating disorders and self-mutilation), the “Gold” video aims to uplift
and inspire. While many have made the connection of “Gold” as an
anti-bullying theme, Britt is intent on not focusing on the bullies.
“There are probably always going to be people who feel the need to hurt
someone else because of their own insecurity,” acknowledges Britt. “But
the message of ‘Gold’ is to remind those kids that are struggling that
no matter what they have been told they are worth so much more than the
words of another. Once you know that, no one can ever steal your shine,”
she says of the intent behind “Gold.”
I hope you enjoy the song. Be blessed.
