Beyoncé Drops Music Video for ‘Brown Skin Girl’ Featuring Daughter Blue Ivy [WATCH]

*Beyoncé has shared a video for her “Brown Skin Girl” song, following its debut in “Black is King,” her visual album released on Disney+ in July.

The music icon recruited her 8-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, and several fellow artists for the music video such as Lupita Nyong’o, Kelly Rowland and Naomi Campbell.

The video was released alongside a special Good Morning America message from Bey: “It was so important to me in ‘Brown Skin Girl’ that we represented all different shades of brown,” she said of the video. “We wanted every character to be shot in a regal light … It was important that we are all in this together and we’re all celebrating each other.”

Director Jenn Nkiru co-signed Bey’s GMA comments in an interview with Essence.

“My focus is always, how do we get to represent people in a human way, in a full way?” Nkiru said.

Los Angeles Times TV critic Lorraine Ali called Beyoncé’s visual album “a 90-minute reclamation of heritage and power.”

“The message — explore and embrace the rich legacy of your ancestors because it’s part of you — may sound simple, but in Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s hands, it’s hardly a rudimentary platitude,” Ali wrote in her review. “With ‘Black Is King,’ she creates a pageant of sight and sound honoring the Black diaspora, weaving a collection of vibrant, profound and defiantly creative scenarios into one abstract and mostly cohesive narrative.”

“Black is King” is a visual album inspired by Beyoncé’s album “The Lion King: The Gift,” which she dropped last year for Disney’s “Lion King” remake. Bey voiced Nala in the live-action film.
