A music video with a powerful message is making a statement on social media. The video, featuring the song “All We need Is Love”, is from the Love Project CD, produced by native Detroiter, Big Huss, on Roxy Records.
Present racial
tensions and conflict in the black community led Huss, along with Roxy Records president Alex Thomas, and a collaborative of artists to launch the musical project.
The video begins
with music accompanying clips of several news reports on violence and injustice
involving the community. It transitions into a powerful performance of various artists
from diverse cultures promoting love and unity.
The completion
of the CD was no small labor of love. Huss says the team of artists, musicians,
and rappers spent 50-weeks not only recording, but having heart-to-heart
discussions with one another about current social issues and their global
impact.
“The times we
live in is baffling”, said Huss. “A lot of things I don't really understand. I
want to use my talent to reach as many people as I can with positivity”. Huss
says this project is about more than just making music, but starting a
movement. “It’s about building up one
another”, he stated. “I’m trying to save our youth.”
Several community
organizations have partnered with The Love Project as supporters. Artist have
returned the generosity by becoming volunteers for many of the non-profits that
are involved.

Vice President Venetia Lyons says she is excited about the fact that this
project is bringing people together.
“We all can come together and make a
difference in our homes, communities, and in the world”, said Lyons. Lyons adds that she would like to see
different cultures dispel fear and mistrust by creating opportunities to meet, interact and to get to know
one another.
“Music is a
powerful tool to help get this done”, said Lyons.
