Lianne La Havas - "Elusive" (Official Video)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- Lianne La Havas no longer needs any introduction; her trajectory has been well documented. Her name has become synonymous with beautiful, soulful, emotive songs about heartbreak. Aged 22, her debut album reached number 4 in the UK album charts, was nominated for this years Mercury Music Prize and she can now count Stevie Wonder, Prince, Erykah Badu, Bon Iver and Jill Scott as fans.
Lianne announces the release of a two-part video with Noisey.com and Essence.com for singles "Elusive" and "Gone". Director Colin Solal Cardo (La Blogotheque) said of their partnership:
"I've been collaborating with Lianne for more than a year now, but working on this project felt like something completely new. Lianne's a brilliant storyteller, there's a true cinematic quality to her songs. When you listen to them, you go through all these emotions and narratives, like a collection of short movies. We felt like it was finally time to build a world around these songs, give life to these love stories and let Lianne actually become these characters. Be it a candid young girl falling in love, or a heartbroken femme fatale in the middle of the woods. I feel fortunate for the trust relationship I have with Lianne, it's something any music video director has to cherish because it's rare and precious. Ultimately, that's what allows an ambitious project like this one to exist."

This takes me back to the best summer I've ever had so far when I first discovered Lianne. I'm so grateful I found this masterpiece of a human
Master piece of a human.. I love your expression 🎉
Trust girl 😢my God ! Life is crazyyyyyyy!!!!!!! Are you 30 now?
Call me weird but I'm in love with the way she pronounces each word. Like her dictation is so beautiful
I totally know what you mean, not weird at all aha
I want her so bad.
diction. :P but yea I agree...
kookie_trash I know what you mean but if it's about her pronounciation then listen to forget
kookie_trash it has nothing to do with being weird,hearing the differences in the way some people sing and pronunciate just shows how well you listen and appreciate a singers style.....
How can her eyeliner be so freaking perfect?
Evangelia M : I was wondering about that too. She's exquisitely gorgeous.
Because of the beauty she has already?
I love the energy she brought to this song! The original by Scott Mathews is beautiful as well.
Autumn Smith did not know that!
Cant get enough of this song
I See Why.....The Song Is Bliss!
"He says my destiny lies in the hands that set me free." Beautiful song, full of revelation. In essence, freedom abides where acceptance is found, which starts with the guidance of one's internal frame of mind and spirit. The mutual embrace between hearts is fate's endeavor. This manifested oneness, is like a mirror's reflection, confirming a shared awakening of what has always been-an introduction to "self". How I long for the encounter of such hands.
Christle Green beautifully said ❤
profoundly moving
Sweet lord this is perfect and Lianne is all KINDS of gorgeous.
This man is gorgeous.
I wish there were more examples of black people like this in the media. I was adopted and grew up in a predominantly white area. My best friend, who's like a sister to me, was also adopted. And besides the two of us, we were the only black people. We've mostly had horrible examples of black people that came from media. On top of that, we were constantly fighting against our stereotypes. I can't tell you all the times where someone has told me, "I'm surprised you like learning. You're like a white person." That's just messed up on so many levels. I've had multiple people try to tell me that, "You're not "black" you're brown." Because they think it's embarrassing to associate myself with black people.
But seeing this is so refreshing! I never ever see black people portrayed in media this way, and it's sad that I have to search on youtube to find it. But I'm glad it's reaching people of different ethnicities. Because with people like this, maybe one day I can say that I like artwork without being told that I'm white for a black person. I'm just so refreshed to see someone like her just being herself, and making good music because the media doesn't have many good examples of people our race (Or any minority), doing this.
Hive Atlas Thanks for this. I feel the same quite frequently, but comments like yours help keep me motivated to do what I love, whether or not that fits the stereotypical black schema.
Cheers,
O. Forrester

Hive Atlas I came here to watch the beautiful Lianne de Havas but found an equally beautiful comment. I certainly share your sentiments which seems like a battle people of color are losing. I guess the lesson is as long as you know you are beautiful then nothing, not even the media can put you down.
Hive Atlas I take it you live in a small predominantly white racist neighborhood. Because in large cities like LA, NY... it's not unusual to see black people in position of power. Sure they do have their fair share of ignorant ghetto people, but they also have large educated black communities.
Being adopted by a person of different race must be difficult. Because you are most likely going to grow up in a culture that is different from your race, while at the same time not ever fitting in with your adopted parents race because of your color.
saucy05 It's not power that bothers me. It's that people aren't seen as people. Because of stereotypes, I'm expected to be only my stereotype. And I'm so tired of people assuming the worst of me because of how I look, or surprised when I'm not a stereotype.
And yes, I do live around a bunch of white racist people. But I also live around a lot of good people too!
Hive Atlas Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Images of black people in the media are slowly changing to be more nuanced. I grew up in a pretty racist city in Florida and I've been called "acting black". I now live in LA so I get to see black creatives all the time and I am grateful. Glad you found this. Much love.
I'm sitting on a marshmallow cloud floating through space and time to the tune of this song....
Matheus Arruda :D :D really nice vibes
+Michael Michuki (Vermon) same
Perfect description.
same dude
@@eclecticmusica waa ass ß
seen her in Hambourg germany. Was really great. She's an amazing singer, organiser, guitar player, ...LIKE LIKE LIKE! Did not count her time. She gives with pleasure what she has in her eart. Thanks Lianne. I'm playing on her songs with my saxophone. We will play one of her song in the Gospel group.
Still gutted this song never got any Grammy recognition
real talk. my sentiments exactly. She's an amazing artist. I must say an album I can listen to from start to finish.
Its s cover
DistinctiveMusicTV - Plus
she wrote it
hunnbatz She wrote for them, ok I did not know thanks
I agree to what you're saying. It seems like the GRAMMY's is more focus on quantitative instead of qualitative. She's an authentic artist that would run circles around many in today's lamestream music.
I fucking love those claps. such a sweet laid back beat.
I remembered when love felt like this.
Love Is Who I Am Says Oshun. Lol. 😂
Badb Boutique A hug filled with joy and music for that one.
One of those songs that gives you the chills when you first heard it.. Im in love
+Christine Trefalt That and no room for doubt
+Joy Kennedy no room for doubt is amazing, have you seen her cover of little dragon twice?
Thank you Lianne for bringing back talent and dignity to modern music.
This is seriously my all time favorite track. Lianne's delicacy and strength leave me speechless.
I dont usually care for music videos but this one is so pretty and natural
i met a girl walking down the street one night in Berkeley years ago and she showed me Lianne la havas. I lived in my pickup truck at the time, It was a strange time but so special. Thanks Sara
Just heard this song for the first time ever today....and I can't stop playing it. Hit my insides hard.
Come on people!
Enough with the comparisons. Just listen to & enjoy the music!
(She sounds like Lianne La Havas.)
THANK YOUUU
Comparisons? Who even sounds like her? I can't with people.
Me and my friend listened this before she went for suicide after when I left her house.
R.I.P Rose.
I'll always treasure this song from my last moments with you
rip rose
This is SUCH a good cover, Scott Matthews is amazing, but Lianne can cover anything and make it absolutely stunning. I love her
I've listened to this song so many times over the last 2 years. Seeing the music video for the first time is stunning. It's everything the song feels like. That's so rare.
add me to the list of people who are in love with lianne la havas.
If this song got radio play, it would be a top 10 hit for weeks!
wow, the production is unbelievable. the drums....ahhh, sound like a demo but yet couldn't be more perfect produced.
bravo
She’s such a vibe. I love all her albums
Wow! She evokes a memory of "Sade'" yet more beautiful & with more range and a deeper presence! She's smooth and silky & raw all at once; so intensely intimate that I feel the unnerving need to look away. When she sings I feel it more than hear it. As I listen all my senses are set off; I smell the earth after hard rain and feel that the room is suddenly warmer. I cannot remember the last time I was so affected. I better go take a walk outside.
Why am I just now discovering this beauty? She's beautiful!! With an equally beautiful voice. Love her!
man...im feelin this lady...beautiful and talented, and she does "heart felt soul" music....its a beautiful thing...
This is just so beautiful, thank you Lianne for just making music and touching so many people's lives.
i definitely like this better than the original. didn't even know it was a remake, she makes it her own. this is my new favorite song, and i love love love lianne!
Just heard Lianne the first time Tuesday opening for Leon Bridges in Miami. What a beautiful thing! From the very first song, she was a musical treasure. Love her music. So glad I found her.
I never understood why the fans of an artist go so crazy and shout and cry for them. Now I think i would go out of my mind if i could know Lianne La Havas. God..! I`ve spent hours watching her on interviews, her concerts, covers, etc. Im a fan! Shes SO beautiful, talented, innovating! her music is music for da soul!
she's gorgeous holy crap
Such a beautiful song. Black is beautiful ✨💕✊🏿💕✨
And mixed race people!
Everything is beautiful
this woman does the most wonderful covers.
her version of Everything Everything's "Final Form" is one of my favorites.
I can't believe I'm just now learning about this singer. I love the voice and the instrumentals. Perfect balance, and not overproduced. I'm now a fan; I hope she has some hi-rez recordings available b/c I'm sure TH-cam isn't dong the audio quality full justice.
Yah. Buy the album, dude.
you chewed this song up and spit it out beautifully your talent is out this world. do your thang lianne.
She is such s beautiful women so is her voice and the music she does. I love this song although it's a cover she did a beautiful job
IKR Their chemistry is out of this world. What an amazingly sensual video!
I never get tired of this song, originally by Scott Matthews
this girl sounds excellent im glad i stumbled on to her...beautiful song and Sounds two thumbs up.
My fave Lianne la Havas music video ❤
I was just about to ask the same thing. Lianne and her are both absolutely beautiful.
listening to this song at the end of the day, sunset.. sweet melody, hot weather in summer.. so sweet and smooth.. memories in malaysia
so good it should be a movie. i cant get enough of this song and video. beautiful!!!
Just discovered her album. Wow. This for me is the highlight, but truth be told its hit after hit and very much worth your money. Will almost certainly be played at my wedding. It's just that good.
Lianne is a beautiful women! lianne is the difference/change music needs! The variety we need. Her voice brings a completely NEW sound, Fresh look. I cant wait to hear whats in store to come because I love the Hit "Lost & Found"!
I could watch this video a thousand times & never get tired of it , :,)
Just had the privilege of seeing this beautiful young lady perform in Brooklyn, NY. She deserves nothing less than superstardom. Go get 'em, Lianne.
Big fan of the original Scott Matthews version but this is just as beautiful in a different way. SO GOOD.
Oh my god! Her voice is insane. Can't believe she's so talented and I haven't heard of her. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this!
Just found her and I am so glad that I did!
Better late than never
Lianne La Havas is such a incredible Artist. Her music is so heart felt. Her voice is a amazing.💎💎💎💎💎💎👑👸
She is beyond amazing a hidden gem indeed
22 years old and this wonderful young lady is already an accomplished guitarist! I can hear a definte D'jango Reinhardt influence in her style! She's left me breathless~~~
This song is the reason I wake up at 5 am and smile
Aug.23: Happy birthday folk-soul singer Lianne La Havas. God bless. Thanks for the post. Blessings. (Tha's a singer right there.)
Who else here listening to this masterpiece in 2021 😍🤗
Lost a very dear friend last weekend
Been listening to this everyday since
U ll remain in my memory for as long as I live ❤️
Lianne La Havas is amazing.
At last, im so glad she was allowed to depict Black people in a respectful elegant light.
Its brilliant to see sensuality presented without it being derogatory towards people of African descent.
You can have what you want, but not everything you want is good for you.
This is the most beautiful video in the world -- I love everything about it, I have watched it countless time
This is a beautiful song! By Scott Matthews originally, she covers it well!
+Jd Evans Never heard of him? all I know she awesome bye now!
Thanks I had to look him up 🙂
Best Lianne's song for sure!
He's a gambler, spinning wheels
A poison victim, look of steel
The coldest heart you've ever felt
The coldest hands you've ever held
Take him down, all his way
A million miles, still no headway
Has his love truly blown?
In his mind I'm proud to roam
He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me free
A reckless night, he hears me breathe
Cursing the skies of this company
You've lost the wisdom deep inside
His bitterness shows it's side
If it's true I'll doom
What more is there to hold onto?
Strength of head is all I own
If to me this sorry's whole
He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me free
Ooh ooh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Ooh ooh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Ooh ooh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Ooh ooh, oh oh, oh oh oh
(That set me free)
He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me, that set me free
Ooh
Mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me
Lies in the hands that set me free
One of those rare artists that you could just tell right from the beginning of her career that there's something very special and unique and has staying power!
PLEASEEEEE SOMEONE TELL ME WHO THE GIRL IS AT 1:47, when lianne gets jealous. PLEASEEEE SHES AMAZING
That chemistry is so electric!! Beautiful
If you love this song, then you will truly love her other hit song "Unstoppable".
I have to agree...her version is soooo much better you get a better feel for the mood of the song in her vocals. I love her delivery and vocal control...Keep it up Lianne!!!!
This has a kind of nostalgic side for me
She deserves far more recognition than this, breathtaking.
Is it me or is the male beautiful or is it just me who thinks that
+Keyandria Miller No your not the only one trust me. He is beautiful and the way he moves is flawless.lol
+airilove17 god ok good. He's beautiful. He's so graceful god. Black MEN!
Beauty! God ...
the female is more
He is flawless
I love this song... Ever since I heard it last night I can't stop listening to it... It's so mystical in a sense... Lianne has gotten a new fan...
SCOTT MATTHEWS! I knew Id heard it before.
A seamless marriage of song and image. Beautiful!
That lucky bastard got to Kiss Her smh
Truly a heart wrenching song. This woman is some kind of goddess
kinda like Corin Bailey Rae mixed with Alicia Keys
Yes.
she feels me with an undying warmth... can't wait to see her live in april...
You should all listen to Scott Matthews sing this.
Josh F He wrote this song like 8 years ago by the way , Liannes is a cover
Scott Matthews version is infinitely better than this.
scott Matthews ilisibe
The chorus is just so ..... wow !
She sounds better than Alicia Keys
purplelove010 What was the point of that?
Did that make you feel good, to bring another black woman into the equation?
solarge knowles Actually they both biracial. And I'm not the only one on the comment section who brought Alicia Keys up. So don't ask me!
solarge knowles Sleep in the park - Solange Knowles.
this song is so poweful and emotive.Dows something to my soul. Love you Lianne. Thank you for making proper music.
Being Mary Jane brought me hereee :)
Me tooo
Great cover
A fine cover, even though Scott Mathews original is a modern masterpiece.
Beautiful song Lianne, I just heard the original by Scott Matthews and it made my eyes watery. It shows the broken heartedness of the lyrics...wow, pure Art.
Scott Matthews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still one of my favorites of hers! So soulful and beautiful! And love this video and what a beautiful man.
I feel like the guy in this video could be the same guy from FKA Twigs's Papi Pacify...
Omg I just noticed that
looooool, guys no, they aren't the same person :)
Maryam Muhammad this dude is Kirikoo Des
WOAW !!!! J'adore !!!!
I love the song maybe me but I don't really get the video it's cute though
one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen
I would love to hear her sing mojo pin or Grace by Jeff Buckley.
seriously dont understand how can anyone not like this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
