Video! Aloe Blacc – “Loving You Is Killing Me” (Live in Studio)

Here’s an in studio performance of Aloe Blacc’s upcoming album Good Things. You don’t get much music like this anymore. Aloe’s music comes across like that of an old soul – someone whose words have been stirring for years and come out with intentions deeper than a hit song, although he’s got that too with “I Need A Dollar“, which turned into a sensation after being used for HBO’s How To Make It In America.

Aloe might have a kind of old school sound wise beyond its years, but it fills a gap that today’s music is missing and I think he’ll be welcomed among the kids who are sick of hearing words like “swag” and seeing careers based on images and catch phrases. Good call, Stones Throw.
