Kirstie Maldonado is imaging a unified world…

The 24-year-old half-Mexican, part-Spanish American singer and her fellow Pentatonix members have released a simple-yet-impactful music video with a message for their cover of John Lennon’s classic “Imagine.”

In the video, the a cappella group, Maldonado and her group mates each holds up a sign with a word that describes them personally, and then flips it over to reveal another word that can be applied to them more generally.

The phrases include “LGBTQ+,” “Man,” “Jewish,” “American,” “Black,” “Christian,” “Latina” and “Woman.”

Pentatonix’s cover of the song will be included on their upcoming album PTX Vol. IV – Classics, which will be available on April 7 and also includes their Grammy-winning collaboration with Dolly Parton on the country singer’s classic hit “Jolene.”

At the end of the video, each of the five members grabs a board and writes a letter on it. Then they flip them over in unison to spell out a single word: “H-U-M-A-N.”
