Emanuel's beguiling new single 'Need You' is getting an inspiring official music video courtesy of Idris Elba, the internet and those in self-isolation.

The actor and musician has posted a call out on social media asking his followers and friends to send in footage about "how people are coping, who they are coping with and what they absolutely N*E*R*D right now."

As you may know Idris Elba caught the coronavirus last month and had to completely self-isolate with his partner. This video is his way of spreading hope through inspirational messages and music. Entries can be sent using the hashtag #Needyou2020

Idris is very passionate about Emanuel's talent - his involvement comes from a very sincere place (as a fan of Emanuel's music). The video will be made up of footage sent by members of the public, celebrities, fans and musicians. The single itself is absolutely beautiful, a really emotional song that pairs perfectly with Idris's message of hope. It is a testament to the power of the Canadian-Ethiopian artist's sumptuous vocal. During these testing times whilst people are confronted with challenging circumstances, the video for 'Need You' seeks to provide comfort and connectedness.
