The title single from How I Got Over, the forthcoming album from Jimmy Fallon’s house band The Roots, is a fantastic little slice of soul that’s dragged along by a nimble organ part. The attendant video—in which we get to see the seedy side of urban life, courtesy some gorgeously shot street scenes in deep Brooklyn—is pretty simple and effective, allowing the song to fully shine as it should.

That is a beautifully shot video. And I really dig the song now—it originally left me lukewarm because when I listen to The Roots I genuinely expect them to slaughter me, as with [i]Game Theory[/i] and [i]Phrenology[/i], but this is a fantastic, cool soul track.
Oh jeez, can you tell I’ve been living in message boards lately?
