The 77-year-old Ross, who rose to fame in the
1960s as the lead singer of Motown Records’ hugely successful
female group the Supremes, recorded the video for new song "All
Is Well".
The clip shows a studio set being built over a time lapse and
Ross, dressed in a black dress, sitting on a chair singing the
track's opening lyrics.
"My sons gave me the confidence and encouragement to make this
video," Ross said in a statement on Wednesday.
"After spending almost two years not performing and not being in
front of the camera, they supported me in easing back into being
around lots of people."
Ross will release "Thank You", her first studio album since
2006’s "I Love You", on Friday. She recorded the new tracks in
her home studio during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I spent the past year recording new music and this music is a
reflection of the joy and the love and the gratitude that I feel
every day. It’s an album of great appreciation for life, and for
all of you," Ross said.
"For me there was an urgency in making a meaningful album,
working with what is happening now in our world. Through the
power of music we are creating a new kind of conversation that
supports our choices and the decisions that we make."
As well as reflective songs, the album is said to feature upbeat
tunes including "If the World Just Danced", which is accompanied
by a video of dancing fans from around the world.
