"This video holds a special place for me, seeing the song come to life a few years after Jackson and I first met and I wrote the song on a beach in Haiti," said Russell. "From the warm night in Haiti, to a frigid winter day in New York City where we shot the video - it has been a beautiful journey. To share the screen with so many incredible artists - including my dear friends Jackson Browne, Jonathan Wilson, Paul Beaubrun Raul Rodriguez and on and on - is an honor to say the least. Hopefully we can recreate this as a live show at some point down the road when the world has normalized. Excited to share this video with you with the hopes that it brings us all a bit closer together at this time when we all need it most."

Hailing from four different countries, interweaving North American Indie Rock with beats and percussion of Haitian Vodou, Spanish and Malian guitar, Tres Flamenco, with songs in English, Creole, Khassonké, Manding and Spanish, Let The Rhythm Lead celebrates the work of Artists for Peace and Justice in Haiti, and was recorded at their Artists Institute on the island's southern coast, in the town of Jacmel. The album has been praised by Rolling Stone, NPR's All Things Considered, Entertainment Weekly, Stereogum, Flood Magazine and more.
