Hilary Roberts and Brenda Ellis Deliver Empowering Message in "Better Than This"

Released on Martin Luther King Day (15th January), this 3-minute track is more than just music - it's a statement of self-reflection, acknowledgment of past wrongs, and a call for positive change.

It urges us to admit mistakes and take collective action toward racial equality and unity. This is the kind of song that doesn't just entertain; it makes an impact.
Reflecting on the single, Hilary Roberts shared, "I was really upset about yet more violence, more racial tensions, and more hate. There’s an apology wanted... there’s an apology needed, so I called Lady Brenda Ellis and expressed this concept that I had."
Brenda Ellis adds, "There’s healing and forgiveness; if we don’t forgive, what’s held in our hearts is bitterness, anger, and frustration. We have to search our hearts, go to God and say, 'God, help me through this.' There’s healing in forgiveness, and when you’re healed, you can move forward in life."
The high-quality music video for "Better Than This" complements the song's message, highlighting various societal issues that need attention. The vocals in the song are brilliant, delivering a powerful message of hope and change.
