The music video, directed by Nathan Legiehn and shot on film, is a visual treat that perfectly complements the sonic experience of the song. With its low-frequency, deep bassline, “Hands Tied” delivers an anthem that is both groovy and soulful, a vibe that is consistent with the rest of the album.
The video’s minimal production showcases the beauty attached to simplicity — a concept that Majid Jordan knows all too well. With the duo just vibing to the music in front of a solid background, the song’s intimate, moving essence is captured well, with both the melody and the guys being the sole focus.
