But before all of that, check out the absolutely sublime video featuring Meshell Ndegeocello for “Transmission/Michealion.” On the six-minute-plus clip, the XL act take their fans to church with the revelation of how magical a music video can really be when executed flawlessly. The talented sisters loop the famous Friday quote that rings true today: “Pies para qué los quiero si tengo alas pa’ volar.” (Why do I want my feet if I have wings to fly)
