The Color Purple is taking the world by storm right now and the same can be said about its star-studded soundtrack! Usher and H.E.R. joined forces for “Risk It All”, one of the songs featured on the album inspired by this musical, and they finally shared a music video for this track.
According to the duo’s official press release, this song “brings together these two award-winning superstars for a special collaboration that encapsulates the raw emotion and enduring strength of The Color Purple’s film’s narratives: risk, love, and liberation.”
Usher and H.E.R. wanted to create a hymn of resilience and courage with “Risk It All”, and they certainly succeeded. They joined forces for a sensual choreography set to this somber ballad in the music video helmed by the award-winning director Dave Myers.
“Risk It All” wasn’t released as a part of the original The Color Purple soundtrack, but a separate album featuring music inspired by this film. In addition to Usher and H.E.R., who plays one of the supporting roles in the film, this album also features contributions from Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennifer Hudson, Keyshia Cole, Ludmilla, Jorja Smith, Coco Jones, and Missy Elliott.
