"Phenomenal Woman" by Laura Mvula

Just try not to smile while watching this wildly colorful, joyful video of Laura Mvula (previously here) singing "Phenomenal Woman" filmed in the Bo-Kaap area of Cape Town, South Africa.

Nobody ever told her she was beauty
One day, she realized she was already free
The color in her eyes was fire rising
She found the light inside, a new horizon

Oh my my, oh my, she flies

She battled trials and every kind of tribulation
She reveled in adventure and imagination
She never listened to no hater, liar
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire

Oh my my, oh my, she flies

It don't matter what people say
Cause they don't know you, where you come from or where you're going
You are phenomenal woman
You are phenomenal, phenomenal!

"Overcome" 'by Laura Mvula

In collaboration with legendary musician and producer Nile Rodgers, the lovely Laura Mvula sings "Overcome" from her new album "The Dreaming Room" out May 6, 2016.
Watch how she gets more and more gold and gets more and more feathers throughout the video...as she turns into the spirit of a bird...

Overcome

When your heart is broken down
And your head don't reach the sky
Take your broken wings and fly

When your head is heavy, low
And the tears they keep falling
Take your broken feet and run

With the world upon your shoulders
Nowhere left to hide
Keep your head up carry on

It ain't no time to die
Even though we suffer
Come together we pray

Round the mountain all God's children run
