Joshua Bassett - Just Love

Curated by Adrian Ruiz

Joshua Bassett, the 22-year-old star of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” released a music video for his self-directed single “Just Love” that serves as a statement on acceptance and love. In both the song’s lyrics and visual presentation, he emphasizes the healing power of love and addresses various social issues, including the exclusion of marginalized populations from places of worship, suicide, abuse, homelessness, and human trafficking. The video ultimately delivers a positive message about the future, encapsulated in the lyrics, “What if we just love?”

HEADS UP: That’s my son playing a younger (troubled) Joshua 🙂
