Alexa Meade X Ariana Grande Collaboration Out Now
Alexa Meade’s inspirational collaboration with Ariana Grande for the music video “God is a Woman” has finally been revealed. In Ariana Grande’s video #GIAW, the latest single off her upcoming album “Sweetener”, director Dave Meyers (known for his work with Kendrick Lamar and SZA) was assisted on set by artist Alexa Meade.
Alexa Meade’s vision was to have Ariana Grande swim in a sea of pastel colors. Alexa was inspired by previous work she’s done with Sheila Vand. The colors of purple and the simplistic, yet detailed work put into this music video has not gone unrecognized by the public.
