SERATONES Share Moving “Power” Video

Shreveport, Louisiana’s Seratones – fronted by the gospel-trained powerhouse frontwoman A.J. Haynes – will release their sophomore album POWER next month, and today they share an incredibly moving music video for the album’s title track. The Danielle Calodney-directed video highlights A.J.’s work as an equality and reproductive rights activist, as well as her work as a counselor at one of Louisiana’s last abortion clinics, and is dedicated to the late Sadie Roberts-Joseph. Filmed throughout three important, women-founded locations in Shreveport – the Calanthean Temple, which was a Black cultural hub during the Jim Crow-era; Hope Medical Group abortion clinic, where A.J. is a counselor; and The Confederate monument – “Power” is Seratones’ way of celebrating how far we have come, despite all the work there is left to do. Watch the video and read more about it below and via PAPER Magazine HERE.
