Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Jackie Greene Premieres New Music Video for “Crazy Comes Easy”
American singer-songwriter Jackie Greene unveiled a new music video for “Crazy Comes Easy” directed by Sebastian Smith and Meredith DiMenna.
The video features three-time cancer survivor Martha Halas as an ebullient woman in love.
The song will appear his upcoming EP "Modern Lives, Vol. 2", which is a half of two different EPs. Another EP "Modern Lives, Vol. 1" was released last October.
The new EP comprises of 6-track, which was recorded in the basement of the Brooklyn apartment building he resided in. It is scheduled to be releases in October.
He told Billboard about the video;
"I thought it was so kooky, so not what anyone would expect from me, I was just like, 'Yeah, go for it...' It has sort of a weird little old school Disney vibe to it. I heard the idea and just started laughing. I probably wouldn't have thought of something like this, which is why it's interesting to sort of hand it off. I thought (DiMenna) did a great job. I'm super proud of it.
It's an upbeat, fun song. I'm not trying to be deadly serious or anything. It's just a fun rock song for me. Everything's so serous nowadays I feel good to have a kooky, lighthearted (video) out there."- He said of the EP;
"The process was pretty much the same; I'd work on stuff in the basement, wait for the car horns to die down outside and record a vocal and just work on it a little each day. The original idea was to put it all out on one album, but it sort of wasn't finished with all the tunes on the last one, so I figured we'd put it out as two different EPs and it'll work well that way, too."
Jackie Greene is currently working on full-length record, which is included some home recordings of blues covers and traditional songs. - source : Billboard
