Blakroc just keeps on giving. Check out the official video (below) to ‘Aint Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)’, the lead single from the album.
This track seems to sum up what the Blakroc is all about – simple, real, effective without (thankfully) cliche. Jim Jones rhymes, Mos Def provides the spirit while Dan Auerbach hollers background vocals and the music is distinctively The Black Keys.
Rest assurred you are going to be hearing and seeing alot more of this track in the coming months. Not long now til the album drops on November 27, 2009.
Jonah Schwartz’s video production is so slick as usual. For those familiar with the weekly webisodes released via the Blakroc.com website, much of the footage will not be new, but coherently edited here with the song and it takes on a new life. The rich light brown tones of the footage give the production a warmth and distinctive look.
The opening frames set the scene as distinctively New York, where the album was recorded. The emphasis on the analogue recording equipment and musicianship provides background to what is being achieved. Finally, you’re left with the fraternity of the artists in creating something new, original and inspired.
