What do you do when no one's watching? Singer-songwriter Leerone offers a personal retort to that question in her music video, a mischievous interpretation of the Black Keys' contemporary blues-rock classic, "Howlin' for You." Directed by Lindsey Byrnes, the video shows our raven-haired protagonist conducting a crash course in hip shuddering freakiness, hoofing about her funky Silverlake flat like a woman-cat unleashed. From its peeping Tom vibes to Leerone's spontaneous performance, "Howlin' for You" celebrates those rare, unguarded moments when inhibition is cast aside and the animal within is allowed to prowl.
Empty Houses [Official Music Video]
Empty Houses imagines Leerone as the sole attendee at an old woman's funeral. Courtesy of Friedmann and his animated sorcery, viewers are transported away from the graveyard through the spirit-haunted halls of the deceased woman's mansion, where Leerone glimpses scenes from the woman's tragic life. These playback images prompt Leerone to reflect on her own life. Eerie, picturesque, and gorgeously realized, Empty Houses makes a poignant visual statement about fate, life, choices and possibilities.
Conceived by Leerone and produced by LA videographer/animator Hank Friedmann—the same boy genius who oversaw Leerones 2008 video Care For Some Whiskey?—Empty Houses masterfully employs fantasy and gothic sensibilities in support of Leerone and Hank's uncompromising creative ambitions.
