About the Video:
The 'Clean Hands' video offers spectacular visuals of Makedah traversing the majestic Judean mountains in royal robes of Ethiopia with her kingman Melchizedek (beloved youths by their side) reminiscent of Queen of Sheba and King Solomon - plus absolutely breathtaking aerial shots of the amazing Dead Sea and Metzuke Dragot near Jerusalem.
Directed by award winning cinematographer Noam Chojnowski, the ‘Clean Hands - Psalms 24’ video single is worthy of much acclaim across roots reggae, world, afrobeat, gospel reggae genres and more!
At a time when hate, discrimination, mass shootings, war and careless disregard for human life are common, Clean Hands is a much needed message of healing and peace for the world.

About the Music:
In her new video single “Clean Hands” - a blazing contemporary version of Psalms 24 - Queen Makedah uses her golden voice atop a brilliantly crafted roots reggae riddim produced by Grammy nominated Pink Fader to deliver a deep meditation on the psalm’s message of repentance in English and Hebrew: Who can ascend to His holy mountain? Who can stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart.” נקי כפים ובר־לבב (nikki capayyim u’var leyvav) Ps. 24.3-4. Makedah says, “The inspiration for Clean Hands came in the weeks preceding Yom Kippur (the biblical Day of Atonement) and the deep emotion of repentance that I was feeling at the time was poured into this song.”
