Made To Love

A lushly sensuous video for John Legend which exemplifies one of DTAs favorite themes: the mutability of matter; the slipping and shifting from one state to another as a metaphor for total sensual engagement. What more seductive image could one ask for the consummation of transcendent love. Wonderful stuff! Significant that the brilliant Yoann Lemoine (AKA Woodkid) is credited as Creative Director.
