From her solo debut “FLOETRY” MARSHA AMBROSIUS got a new kind of attention after the release of FAR AWAY. AMBROSIUS has a beautiful voice in the song. The song floats on the sultry gorgeousness and slips into an R&B adult-contemporary that could be easily coined as a beautiful romantic song. Lyrics have a sadness of hurting departure of a good love. The song can be universally digested as a bitter sweet ballad about a good love in metaphysical. The song is a very pleasant and soothe to soul.
The music video of the song was released and premiered on VEVO, January 6, 2011. The video sparked lots of controversy towards the concept which involved an African American gay couple. It touches on an array of hot-button topics, including bullying, suicide and gay rights. In the clip, AMBROSIUS hangs out with a handsome guy who can charm kids and grown man alike. But when the same guy holds hand with his male lover the kid’s mom won’t let her children go near them and the once jovial fell as in the park advance on him. So AMBROSIUS’s pal ends up swallowing a bottle of pills after the deluge of taunts. A written appeal was featured in video exhorting viewers to put a stop to bullying and homophobia. The phone no. and URL of National Suicide Prevention Lifeline was also posted in the video. The video is being nominated for Video of the year at the BET Awards 2011.
