Mica Paris & Will Downing: Where is the Love

A glorious cover from the classic duet formed by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway in the early 1970's, this pairing of Mica Paris & Will Downing showed some new dimensions to the classic heartbreak song "Where is the Love" without stepping away from its original source. The rhythm is a little more faster, yet very adequate to the lyrics, making it a very fine song to hear it and sing along. It's just a little strange that it sound like 1980's at all, I was thought it was something released in the late 1990's or early 2000's because it was more recently that this version started to get my attention.

Sure, the video might look slightly confusing since the duo perform with so much emotion and connection with each other while the song presents a growing distance between the two since they are committed with other persons but the duo and energy is so cool and great look at that one can excuse such proximity. It's lovely and beautiful to look at them. Also great to look at it are the countless aerial images of Manhattan at night, even though the shots are quite repetitive and plenty of other nice locations from there could be shown as well.

Downing and Mica's chemistry is impecable and very romantic as they dance and sing along, or walk through the streets of New York in a ellegant manner. Thumbs way up to this beauty of video. 10/10.
