Natalie Merchant shares the video for “Come On, Aphrodite,” featuring singer Abena Koomson-Davis (Resistance Revival Chorus), from her 2023 album, Keep Your Courage. Filmed in Brooklyn, the video is directed by Matthew Shattuck and edited by Andrew Pulaski. “‘Come On, Aphrodite’ is an invocation to the goddess of love and passion,” says Merchant. “In the lyrics, I list all the clichés we use to describe falling in love: being drunk and blind, over the moon, weak in the knees, and half out of our minds. For the Greeks, when the spirit of love descended, it was seen as a kind of assault; you would become powerless against an all-consuming, sweet madness. Amazingly, humans still crave it, in spite of the perils.”
