The track is accompanied by another one of Fils-Aimé’s stunning music videos, this time a collaboration with Miryam Charles, known for her feature film This House which made the Toronto International Film Festival’s annual year-end ‘Canada’s Top Ten’ list for 2022. Featuring Fils-Aimé and friends against a lush, calm, green backdrop, the video visualizes the record’s plant motifs as a metaphor for community and connection.

Following her acclaimed Nameless, Stay Tuned and Three Little Words, a trilogy which conceptualized the history of African American music, Dominique Fils-Aimé marks the beginning of a new trilogy with Our Roots Run Deep. Dominique frames her latest album with a loose, dreamlike narrative structure that tells a story of growth. For Dominique, nature acts as an anchor—a source of inspiration that provides her with metaphors to express the unique but interconnected journey of a human being.

‘Feeling Like A Plant’ cracks open with a raw burst of energy, like the freshness of a new life. In this single, drums and a low cello drone are Dominique Fils-Aimé’s only accompaniment. Vocal patterns come together and glow with warmth and vibrance—a vigorous reverberation. The song expands with subtle, sometimes dramatic melodic layers that shoot off into open spaces. These layers find room to grow, with a spirit of determination reinvigorated by the beat.
