NEW MUSIC | TIERRA WHACK TEAMS UP WITH THE LEGO® BRAND FOR WILDLY CREATIVE VIDEO “LINK”

In an attempt to live in space forever, Tierra Whack and the LEGO Group part­ner up for her light-hearted visu­al “Link.” With the help of Phil­adelphia school chil­dren and dir­ect­or Cat Solen, Whack­’s ima­gin­at­ive vis­ion gets a fun boost, as they help cre­ate dif­fer­ent inter-galactic creatures, rock­et launch­ers, hum­ming­birds and castles to enhance the video’s dynam­ic. Inspired by Whack­’s play­ful child­hood memor­ies, “Link” proves to be an enter­tain­ing and explor­at­ory watch for people of all ages.

Before cre­at­ing “Link,” Whack sat down along­side chil­dren from ages 6–9 to build a myri­ad of objects out of LEGO® bricks to inspire her innov­at­ive video. The kids’ ima­gin­a­tions ran wild as they built whatever came to mind. Whack, serving as a blank can­vas, received their sug­ges­tions whole-heartedly and helped real­ize their con­cepts to the best of her abil­it­ies. 

“I was so excited to work with kids because their energy is fun, exhil­ar­at­ing, nev­er-end­ing, and full of sur­prises,” says Tierra Whack regard­ing the cre­at­ive pro­cess. “I really trus­ted them, and I knew they were going to come up with some­thing great. What I loved most about the pro­cess was being able to part­ner with such an icon­ic com­pany like the LEGO Group because we could make any­thing hap­pen!” 

As part of the LEGO Rebuild the World cam­paign, Whack joins the likes of award-win­ning US per­spect­ive artist Alexa Meade, stage and screen icon Billy Port­er and archi­tect and RIBA Gold Medal­ist Sir Dav­id Adjaye OBE in a series of films which explore the import­ance of cre­at­ive play to show how this inspires kids to express their indi­vidu­al cre­ativ­ity and devel­op vital skills such as self-con­fid­ence, resi­li­ence, and col­lab­or­a­tion. 

Link” serves as Whack­’s first video since her Octo­ber 2020 release “Dora which was dir­ec­ted by con­cep­tu­al artist Alex De Corte. Whack doubled the ante and released two more records in “feel good” and “Pep­pers and Onions” to wrap up her 2020.

 After being lauded for her lyr­ic­al bravery and mas­ter­ful vis­ion in 2018, the fol­low­ing year, GRAMMY-nom­in­ated lyr­i­cist and fast-rising super­star, Tierra Whack stormed back with five new tracks in five con­sec­ut­ive weeks as part of her acclaimed “Whack His­tory Month.” In June 2019, her stel­lar word­play abil­it­ies earned her a coveted slot as an XXL Fresh­man. Last year, she covered Teen Vogue for their March 2020 issue.
