Cool Uncle—the duo of soul singer Bobby Caldwell and producer Jack Splash—released their debut self-titled album last year. They've now shared the Kris Merc-directed video for "Never Knew Love Before" from the album. In it, Caldwell sings alongside a crew of dancers and in front of a brightly-colored animated backdrop. Jack Splash appears at one point holding a jukebox, too. Watch it below.
Splash and Caldwell spoke about the video in an interview with Okayplayer. Splash said:
I wanted the video to be very vibrant and colorful, so I hooked up with the director Kris Merc (from NY) and we put the whole idea together with the dancers, the choreography, the animation, etc. A few weeks later, we were all at a warehouse in Brooklyn laying it down. Big shout out to all of the NYC dancers & models who really gave us their 100% (Elena, Lauren, Mary-Angela, Karin, Elayna & RADZ). With all that energy & multi-culturalism, it felt like a Mary Jane Girls video shoot!!! Also, the art direction & animation (done by Jenni & Helen) were super crucial. It really was a labor of love from the NY art scene.
