On “No Friends”, New Jersey native Justin Love has accepted the challenges of success as part of the cost of doing business. Along with producer ATG, he’s come up with a track that perfectly matches these feelings. The video (which he directed) was filmed and edited by visual collaborator Few Oliveira, and shows a day in Justin Love’s life.
In “Canyon Town”, Regina Ferguson depicts a wide-eyed, magnetizing exploration of love. It’s more than a mere ode to the beauty of nature; it’s a love song that celebrates the harmony and joy shared between two kindred souls. Mara Whitehead’s striking video serves as a captivating complement to the song’s unpretentious grandeur, as a pair of dancers – Ryan Lee and Ryan Green – gracefully traverse hills behind Ferguson.
“1Concern” establishes Young Holyfield as a practitioner of hip-hop at its smoothest. He teams up with reggae vocalist Ishadon, who deepns the mood with cool, silky-sung choruses. The “1Concern” video was shot and directed by Cracked Lenz, and it looks like it could be in Atlanta – or anywhere young people get together to enjoy the finer things.
Way up north, right at the US-Canadian border, Waydown Wailers have held their integrity and intention since the early 2010s. “Motor Scooter”, from the upcoming LP Miles of Roads, is a rock bluesy tune that rips with their signature playfulness. The “Motor Scooter” video finds band members Dave Parker and Joe Thomas out on the run.
