Where does a person's true strength lie: in themselves or their community? The story of eclectic collective &More is the story of that tension.

The band's new music video for "My Own Light" illustrates strength in family and close-knit friendship on a sun-kissed block in West Philadelphia. It's the first in a planned series of videos from the forthcoming Ethel Bobcat LP, and in its opening sequence, we see actress Jacqui Thompson — mother to both &More's singer-songwriter Donn T and The Roots drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson — as the album's title character, sitting regally in a rocking chair.

As the camera pulls inward on her gaze, narrator J. Ivy describes a pillar of the community: "For her, these streets were sacred grounds." Then, as a Sade-style quiet-storm groove begins, Donn T shifts the focus to the importance of individuality, and how reliance on others can smother one's ambition and identity. "As long as I'm with you, I'll never write my own story," she sings in a simmering alto.
