Motown/UMe has released the first-ever official animated music video for Marvin Gaye’s classic signature staple, “Let’s Get It On.”
Directed by Monica Cordero and animated by Vania Chandrawidjaja and William Kusuma, the visual brings the ultimate anthem of seduction to life in vibrant fashion.
With its seventies-style color palette and psychedelic hues, the clip threads together sensual vignettes—a bitten apple and blossoming flowers. In between, a couple embraces, and the camera spotlights an animated depiction of a smiling Marvin Gaye clad in a recognizable knit hat.
Ultimately, the video translates “Let’s Get It On” to the screen like you’ve never seen it before.
It comes on the heels of the release of “Let’s Get It On: Deluxe Edition” on the 15th anniversary of the seminal record’s original release.
Stay tuned for more soon, including a new Deluxe Edition of “Marvin Gaye Live!.” Coming digitally in 2025, which will feature the entire show for the first time on all DSPs. Additionally, the original 9-track album, which spotlighted Marvin’s return to the stage after years away, will be available on most digital platforms for the first time.
Both are newly remastered and available in Dolby ATMOS.
Inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004, “Let’s Get It On” represents a pivotal moment not only in the career of Marvin Gaye but in the evolution of soul music. Marvin gave voice to intimate desire in a way that was lightning-charged.
At the time, he claimed it was spiritually guided. Fifty years on, it’s never been more apparent that he was telling the truth.
