Jay-Z’s New Video Will Leave You Squinty


Murky and kinda inscrutable on the very small screen, the video for Jay’s latest single, “I Know,” makes me think I should really call Comcast and get MTV Jams added to my cable package just to see if its late-night atmosphere plays any better on my TV. Beautiful ladies stroll through noir-ish city streets captured in a muted palette of cerulean, amber, and black; a trip to a club adds (just a little) much-needed color (plus one druggy special effect); and Jay is nowhere to be seen on set. (For a split second I thought that might be him behind the orange glow of a lit smoke, but alas no.) But if the video leaves your eyes straining to care, there’s a Pharell hook and a twinkly off-the-rack Neptunes keyboard, just in case you felt the need to relive the Black Album heyday of five years ago.

    Isn’t the first young lady (wearing the scarf) Li’l Kravitz? You know, Lenny’s daughter – I can’t remember her name.

    Don’t call Comcast for anything, unless you have 8.5 hours to spare listening to elevator funk while on hold.

    @Chris N.: Yeah. I guess I don’t listen to much Lenny.

    Clearly, Jay’s been bitten by the Green bug. The darker the screen, the less energy you waste!
