Hercules & Love Affair - You Belong

Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

Nomi Ruiz performs "You Belong" in a stylized, surreal setting surrounded by dancers who vogue and move with deliberate, theatrical precision. The video places the performers among unusual visual motifs and deadpan tableaux, including Andrew Butler appearing as a monk with futuristic hand toys and Kim Ann Foxman playing glass harmonicas. Its mixture of club movement, ritualistic imagery, and eccentric props gives the track a playful yet otherworldly presentation.
