"Oh Rosie!" - The Official Music Video

By Alexandria Boddie

"Oh Rosie!" - The Official Music Video

She’s here.

 

The product of my obsession. An obsession that gave me the will to thrive. An obsession planted inside me by my beloved friends and watered by God Themself.


First came the vision, then came the music, and then, after years of positioning and planning, the two came together into form.



Through years of economic disadvantage, and through homelessness, knowing that I had this vision - and more like it - inside me gave me a will to survive and thrive. 


Creation saved me.


And this creation wouldn’t exist without the encouragement and labor of several cherished people in my life, and a crew that was an absolute delight to work with.

I hope you love this song. And I especially hope you find this video a visual feast.

Watch now.

Mid-February through mid-April of 2017 were the darkest days of my life. It was the deepest depression I’d ever experienced, and it came on the heels of a period of burnout. Every day it seemed like my life was getting worse and worse, and every solution I thought was The Answer made my material conditions worse. My chest felt like a bottomless pit, and I cried every day. I felt like I had nothing left to give… except...
