"The music video is about people from different worlds connecting through music. And it's surprising how what eventually came out when everything was finished, was somehow so similar [to] the production process itself: Uri [Brauner Kinrot] and I connecting across the globe to get this project done and him flying from Israel to Peru to shoot it.

Now it has a bath salts-fueled, revenge-filled music video to go along with it, which was directed by Rik Cordero . T...
