Marsha Ambrosius risks it all in the name of love in the cinematic video for “Cold War,” the first single off her sophomore album Friends & Lovers.

The British singer’s character is used to living a comfortable lifestyle, but when her fiancé (“The Wire’s” Michael Kenneth Williams) loses his job, she takes matters into her own hands to save their livelihood and relationship. To make some quick money, she gets involved with a drug dealer (“The Wire’s” Felicia “Snoop” Pearson), but soon the cops come calling.

“This video really depicts how far you will go for someone you care about,” explained Marsha. “I went to extreme measures to save my love and I clearly did some very illegal things.”

Just how far will she go for love? Watch her battle play out on-screen.
