Setche debuts music video - Black Country Girl - on Valentines Day and aims to heal divided nation
Setche debuts her compelling music video in the HEART of Black History Month in celebration of the unsung Black cowgirls and cowboys of America; and as a reminder of the Black influencers of country music, culture, and history.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Female singer Setche is elated to launch the music video for her debut country song, "Black Country Girl" on Sunday, February 14th, 2021, in the HEART of Black History Month." With the United States divided and hurting, Setche believes her song and video will help people find the humanity in each other -- despite our differences. The song is catchy and heart-warming, and the stories behind the song and video can spark critical conversations that help people see the world through others' perspectives.
In the video, Setche embraces African and Country Western cultures while grappling with some uncomfortable reality. Black Country Girl inspires authenticity - embracing all of who we are, expressing our authentic selves, and finding our internal purpose, no matter what boxes we are expected to stay within.
She is releasing it on Valentines Day, in the HEART of Black History Month, as a reminder and celebration of all the unsung Black cowgirls, cowboys and contributors in shaping country music and culture - a recognition and embrace of the diversity of country western history.
Setche draws her inspiration from several country singers including Rissi Palmer, Jo Dee Messina, Darius Rucker, Alan Jackson, and Dolly Parton.
