The Voice South Africa winner Craig Lucas has been dominating the airwaves with his incredible new single ‘Hearts Exposed’ – a song whose meaning convinced him to write an emotional coming out letter – and now, to mirror his new-found freedom and to truly allow his heart to be exposed, the star has released an incredibly romantic and LGBTQ-centred music video to the track.
Craig is joined by actor Anzio September in the music video and is all about allowing yourself to love and chasing freedom whilst letting go of things that have been holding you down, so you can move forward. It’s about appreciating all that is beautiful within and around us and not taking that for granted. The song speaks about letting go of ego and pride among other things and allowing yourself to be vulnerable whilst fighting to find love again.
Naturally, Craig wanted the music video to capture the essence of the song and it was important for him to have a heartfelt message alongside a storyline which combined love as well as self-love.
“I needed the video to be exciting whilst still carrying a heartfelt message, sort of like the song itself does,” Craig says. “I am very proud of this video. It is one of the first local videos with the main cast being in a same-sex relationship. I am proud of the message in the video and know that watching it will make a lot of people feel really good and even hopefully inspire someone to go after whatever it is they want with no fear.”
