Love Song

London singer/producer Miink's exploration of Christianity's role in human suffering gets a richly atmospheric treatment in Elliott Power's stunning visual for Paper Doll.The song comes from Miink's forthcoming second album Notice Me, an ambitious and commendable work that addresses the impact on uprooted culutres of the Atlantic slave trade. In Paper Doll he throws a spotlight upon how colonizers used Christianity, and the concept of heaven and hell, as a tool to prevent slaves from committing suicide on the long journey to America.[imgtoken data:1]Power's striking video alludes to the themes in the song, setting Miink's performances against elements of Christian iconography.As many enslaved people were forced to practice their true beliefs in secret, and the video for&nbsp;Paper Doll reflects this forced secrecy through a world shown entirely in darkness, in beautifully composed scenes illuminated by points of light.With cinematography by Pau Muñoz and Josep Pardo, Power sets Miink against the forces of religion, on the brink of the underworld, and creates a richly evocative piece of work.
