Diddy and Teyana Taylor have teamed up to work on the music video for “Closer To God,” off of Diddy’s The Love Album: Off The Grid. In addition to performing on the song and appearing in the video, Taylor served as the director for the piece. In a statement from Diddy along with the video’s release, he described Taylor as an “incredible artist.”
“Teyana is not just an incredible artist, she’s my sister.” Diddy said. “She has this undeniable force and raw emotion she brings to every project. When we began conceptualizing ‘Closer To God,’ her name was at the forefront of my mind. I had to convince her to come out of retirement, but I knew she would perfectly capture the spiritual essence and depth of the song. Collaborating with her on both the song and its visual was like harmonizing with a kindred spirit. Together, we’ve created something truly special.”

I believe we’ve created something that will touch people’s souls.” “The video captures the profound sentiment of feeling divinely connected when in the presence of true love. It paints a picture of raw emotion, vulnerability, and the magic of finding someone who brings you closer to the divine.”
