“Love may have the longest arms, but it can still fall short of an embrace.” Inspired by the concept of this quote and unrequited love, Los Angeles-based trapsoul artist Sapphire Hart aka Hailee Kaleem Wright has released her cinematic music video for her single “By The Way.” Directed by Paul Gratland and Sidney Dupont, the vivid music video filmed at Thousand Steps Beach, finds a fictional Queen (Hart) cursed with immortality through an unhappy marriage reflecting on her life of solitude and unrequited love. “By The Way” is available now on all streaming platforms.

Prior to the global shutdown due to the coronavirus outbreak, LA-based Sapphire Hart could be seen performing in multiple Broadway shows (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Black Clown, Paradise Square) alongside stage legends Bill T Jones, Moises Kaufman, and Davone Tines, to name a few. Refusing to let the pandemic disrupt her creativity, the multifaceted Hart took the time to reignite her first love, singing and songwriting.

Stream “By The Way”, available now on all platforms. Follow Sapphire Hart on social media for upcoming performances and music exclusives.
