#INNW? (If Not Now, When?)

“This song highlights how things are not too much different now than it was in 1968, how black lives are still being taken, and justice still has not been served specifically in the African American communities,” Corey Lou says. “Ain’t No Justice For The Brother’ is a phrase you’ll hear. It addresses what it’s like being a Black man In America and being told that kneeling or standing beside a Black Lives Matter Billboard is being too aggressive.”

“INNW” asks us when the world is going to change. The music video is directed by Jessica Adair and Corey Lou. Check it out and stay tuned for his full EP, What We Gone Do, coming soon!

Director Biography - Corey L. Martin, Jessica Addair

Born to the land of Woodstock, TN, Corey Martin, known affectionately as Corey Lou, came into this world as a born-to-be performer. Gifted with a heart for soul and the ear of a true musician, Lou began his journey as an artist from the young age of five singing the deep gospel sound of the Memphis choirs, to the rugged soul riffs, so well trained at the infamous STAX Music Academy, to the polished classical content worthy of Carnegie Hall's stages. It’s safe to say that Lou does it all.
A self-proclaimed “lover-boy”, the words of Lou’s work reflect a man in contemplation over life lessons, laments, and most deeply, love. Out of his desire to make meaning of these things, Lou takes each verse and chord as the chance to communicate a message of power with the world. His greatest hope is that in doing so, is that he can set a standard of success and true expression beyond the mainstream.
Stay tuned for the upcoming releases of Corey Lou’s latest expressions in his soon to be released EP, “What We Gone Do?”. Move through the tale of intimacy as the storyteller expresses his deepest truth to the woman he loves. With a hope that his music reaches whomever is meant to hear the message, Corey Lou creates music with the intention for it to be a vehicle of generational “peace, good energy, and fellowship” into the world.
