    Lettuce Release Video for “Everybody Wants To Rule The World”

    By Dom VigilDecember 23, 2019

    Hot on the heels of their GRAMMY® nomination for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, acclaimed genre-defying funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-art-rock-experimental-avant-garde music titans LETTUCE have released the official music video for their single “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” their jazzy take on the Tears For Fears hit featuring the band’s keyboardist Nigel Hall on vocals. The striking visual, directed by Chad A. Marshall, was shot throughout Los Angeles and beautifully captures the essence and strength of the human spirit and the innumerable types of people that shape the world. Watch the video now below.

    “With greed and self-absorption taking a center seat in the society we live in, Lettuce wanted to put out a song and video that portrays the power and plight of the real human heart and the strength that comes from regular and consistent support that is only found in tight communities and family style living,” shares the band. “We wanted to show the myriad of different styles that humans can embody and how strong we can be together when we listen to and care for each other using patience, kindness, respect and love. We now humbly present to you all, ‘Everybody Wants to Rule The World’! Proper respect to the originals. One love; one world. Peace, Justice & Unity.”

    “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” is a featured track off Lettuce’s latest studio album Elevate, which recently received a GRAMMY® nomination in the category of Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. The esteemed honor marks the sextet’s first as a collective in their nearly three decades together. Elevate, the band’s sixth studio album available via their own Lettuce Records, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album Chart and #1 on the iTunes R&B Albums Chart and has been streamed over 2 million times since its release. PRESS HERE to listen to Elevate.
