When Robin saw a picture of Maxi Priest visiting a friends house in Jamaica he joked – “What a great place for a video shoot”. With the restrictions of lockdown meant filming together was impossible, Robin’s idea was brought to life with some clever ‘digital conjouring’ by video director Ben Milner (Brian May, Bastille, Disclosure and Rudimental). The retro grooves and blues funk treatment of ‘Are We Just People’ was chosen to shoot the video around.
Whilst Maxi Priest pours his heart out reflected in a beautiful pond at a summer house in Jamaica, his collaborators Robin Trower and Livingstone Brown appear reflected in the still calm water.
The video premiered on Youtube on 7th April and fans have been quick to praise the song. “The unmistakable Trower touch just gives the goosebumps”.
