Eric Bellinger is literally using his voice to take a stand.
The R&B singer was inspired by the recent racially motivated events that transpired over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia and he has released a new performance video titled “Be The Change.”
Taking to the streets of Los Angeles with an acoustic guitar player, Bellinger busked through a performance of the empowering anthem about fighting hate with love and standing up for what you believe is the right and moral way to live.
“Before you give up on life, just give love a try / Let’s come together / Keep your head up to the sky / And fight ’til the day you die / Let’s come together,” he sings. “If you believe just follow me / I’ll be the change that the world’s been missing.”
In between shots of his street performance, the visual contains vintage footage from the days of Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement, along with footage from the violent protests in Charlottesville.
“Felt I needed to share something given everything that has been going on in Charlottesville,” wrote Eric on Instagram before adding in one of Nelson Mandela’s iconic quotes.
