In honor of The Summer of Marley, a brand new, official music video for Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Could You Be Loved” has debuted on Bob Marley’s Official YouTube Channel.

The animated video was inspired by Cedella Marley, who has been tapped as the global ambassador of the Jamaican women’s Football program. In addition, Cedella also recently launched a women’s football initiative called ‘Football is Freedom,’ aimed at providing tools & resources to grow & promote the sport for women in the Caribbean/Latin America.

The “Could You Be Loved” video follows a little girl from Jamaica pursuing her dreams of playing soccer in a world where it’s not very common. Throughout the storyline, the protagonist finds strength and courage in her surroundings and overcomes her inner doubts with Bob Marley as her guiding light, encouraging her to stay positive & keep going. The video shines a light on the girl’s journey as she ultimately grows into a confident young woman & becomes the star player on her team, winning the championship in the end.

Last month, the Marley Family, Island Records, and UMe marked the 45th anniversary of Exodus – with a digital Exodus: Deluxe Edition. The digital deluxe album features the ten tracks from the original album, plus 18 Singles & Sessions tracks; 13 of the tracks were culled from two previous Deluxe Editions.
