Unbeknown to most people Jada Pinkett Smith is a rocker, and a hard rocker at that, who is not afraid to get her feelings out there to a blistering guitar rifts and heavy drum beats.
On Sunday, the actress and her metal band Wicked Wisdom released a video for their long awaited new track, Stuck.

The 42-year-old sings her heart out in the power ballad in which she laments about a lost love.
With reports her and husband Will Smith's marriage is under strain, the already poignant lyrics could be interpreted as somewhat of a revelation by the Hawthorne star - who even appears to stare longingly at a wedding ring in the clip.
In the dark song, the star - who sports a very metal partially shaved head in the clip - sings: ' I remember when you kissed me, Said you’d always love me, Your words broke me and left me there, Staring at a shadow.'
And it does not end there, with the mother of two melodically howling: 'Some nights I feel the way you touch me, Those nights I believe that you once loved me, Tonight I wish that you could hold me, And now it’s time to end this story.'

In the clip, which Jada posted on her twitter on Sunday, the actress seems to be fighting to get out of a dark emotional place, and the video makes sure to use all the classic angsty metal imagery of darkened rooms, blood and broken dreams represented by smashed vases of white roses.
And, just to push the point home, Jada as the female protagonist is filmed running away from someone or something throughout the video.
The five and a half minute long clip ends with Jada being able to fight her way out of a darkened mansion, running for her life into a lake, out of which she emerges, presumably reborn, wearing all white.
The actress avoided going into depth about the song's meaning when explaining the video to fans on Twitter: 'The idea being that when we concentrate on dealing with and cleaning up our own stuff... all things fall in place.'

Metal mama: While her love of nu metal - a
sub-genre of metal music - may come as a surprise to many, Jada has been
the frontwoman of Wicked Wisdom since the band started over a decade
ago
Whether she is referring to her husband, or something else in her life, it remains unclear.
While her love of nu metal - a sub-genre of metal music - may come as a surprise to many, Jada has been the frontwoman of Wicked Wisdom since the band started over a decade ago.
The band - Jada along with Pocket Honor, Cameron 'Wirm' Graves, Rio Lawrence and Philip 'Fish' Fisher - have released two albums and Stuck is the first single from their latest musical offering - which they are still recording.
Wicked Wisdom has previously toured with Britney Spears and performed as part of Ozzy Osbourne's heavy metal festival, Ozzfest.
