Breakout Dutch-Curaçaose R&B/soul artist Nicole Bus has shared the official video for “Rain,” a poignant, piano-driven track from her debut album, KAIROS (ROC NATION). Actor Will Catlett (Charm City Kings, “Black Lightning,” “Love Is __”) stars along with Bus in the clip, which was shot at the historic Bendix Diner in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. It was directed by Megan Gamez (Mario, Maeta, Slushii). Watch the video now below.
”I loved making this video,” says Nicole Bus. “In this life you don’t know what you got till it’s gone, and I feel this visual embodies the strength of that message.”
Will Catlett was intrigued by the project from the moment he heard the album title. KAIROS is an ancient Greek word meaning a propitious moment for action, or signifying “the appointed time in the purpose of God.”
“When I saw that, it was like – alright, this a divine, appointed time,” Will Catlett recalls. “I had to get on a plane. It was done. It was part of the plan.”
View Bus performing “Rain” live in New York City HERE. She will kick off her first headline tour on February 20 in Minneapolis at Turf Club. The Arise and Shine Tour will include shows at SOB’s in New York City (February 28) and The Roxy in Los Angeles (March 17). She will wrap up the run on March 18 in San Francisco at Brick + Mortar.
