The "Got Soul" music video, directed by noted New York photographer Jacob Blickenstaff beautifully captures June performing in a variety of settings interspersed with childhood photos showcasing the rising star's sparkling energy and openhearted nature. The video also incorporates vintage footage captured by Mary Burns from June's first ever live solo performance in Memphis, TN. "The 'Got Soul' video is my journey through genre and song. While making this video I was able to find a way to blend my past with the present," shares June.  The first time ever collaboration highlights Viacom's open ability to support a genre-bending, dynamic artist like Valerie June.
