Pentatonix send a powerful message with their latest music video putting a hauntingly beautiful spin to the John Lennon classic “Imagine.”
In the video, each of the members holds up a sign with a word that describes them personally and then flips it over to reveal another word that can be applied to them more generally. Phrases included “LGBTQ+,” “Man,” “Jewish,” “American,” “Black,” “Christian,” “Latina” and “Woman.”
Pentatonix’s cover of the song will be included on their upcoming album PTX Vol. IV – Classics, which will be available April 7 and also includes their Grammy-winning collaboration with Dolly Parton on her hit “Jolene.”
At the end of the video, each of the five members grabs a board and writes a letter on it. Then they flip them over in unison to spell out a single word: “H-U-M-A-N.”
The song will be included in Pentatonix’s upcoming EP, “PTX Vol. IV — Classics,” scheduled for release on April 7. A full track list hasn’t been releases yet, but as the EP will also include the group’s Grammy-winning collaboration with Dolly Parton on an update of Parton’s 1974 hit “Jolene,” it appears that they will be reaching pretty far back for the songs they cover on this one.
