Jann Klose reveals the music video for his latest single, “ Love High”, shot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Watch the music video for “Love High” here:
The music video for Jann Klose's “Love High” - the second single off his latest studio album “In Tandem” - came together after Jann reached out his friend, collaborator, and Tony Award winning choreographer, Yo-EL Cassell. Now a professor at Boston University, Yo-EL connected Jann with recent BU graduates Director/Producer Klaudyna Astramowicz and Director of Photography Wyatt Ward. Both came onboard to create the music video for “Love High” which features several NYC-based dancers and actors. The shoot took place in a single day in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and centers around a dreamscape setting in which the lead character connects with lovers of the past and future during a daydream. Edited by Deijah Lee-Carroll, the world premiere of the video took place Oct 14th at the famed NYC venue The Cutting Room.
“'Love High' is about that moment in a relationship where you realize the physical aspect will most likely outweigh the emotional! You reach a point in the relationship where you have to let go because it can only go so far,” explains Klose.
Klose gathered some of SA's top musicians while recording “Love High” and the single features Sakhile Nkosi (who also performs with AKA) on bass, Ezra Erasmus (Idols SA, John Legend) on keys, Leagan Breda (Lira, Trevor Noah) on drums and Raymond Green (Idols SA) on featured electric guitar. Produced by RJ Benjamin, mixed by Rici Martins and mastered by Ben Kesler.

The wait is finally over after almost a year's worth of work going into the writing and recording of the album, and Jann is ready for people to hear all the songs on “In Tandem”! “I am so excited to release 'In Tandem' to the world! Making this album has been the most beautiful creative experience of my life and career thus far. Working with all these great guest artists from three continents has opened my mind in ways I never expected. I think this is my most honest work to date and I hope everyone enjoys listening to it as much as we did making it.”
