Riffing on the mood of the moment, singer John Legend has released his new music video as a stand against his country's newly elected leader, Donald Trump.
Unlike most protest songs, this track centres around affection, not outrage. Titled 'Love Me Now', its video is directed by Nabil Elderkin, who has worked with in the past with Kanye West, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Bon Iver.
The soaring four-minute video features his model wife Chrissy Teigen and their newborn baby Luna.

"We didn't think about the election when we planned the release date for this song and video. But in this time of conflict and uncertainty, it's clear that we all need more love," the singer posted on Instagram about his new track, adding: "I find it in my family and in my music.
"Embracing my family has made today full of love and light despite the bad news. But it's also important that we show love and empathy to people who may not look like us or live like us. Those who are marginalised and rejected, feared and left behind.

"The video premieres Friday and features a diverse group of people from all over the world. From Standing Rock to Iraq, from Orlando to the DR.
"Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it. And it will ultimately win over hate. I have to believe that."
He then called for his fans to engage with his message, writing: "If you want to join in our celebration of love, use the hashtag #lovemenow and send us a picture of you and someone you care about."
The song is the musician's latest release from his forthcoming fifth studio album, Darkness and Light.
