If there’s one thing The Black Keys know how to be, it’s original. Original look, original sounds. The same holds true for their new single, “Lonely Boy,” off their upcoming album, El Camino. Dan Auerbach describes the song as, “raw, driving, and back to basics.” Raw and driving it is, as I instantly recognized the signature rock/blues sound that has helped carve out The Black Keys as a cornerstone in modern rock music.
And speaking of original looks, the music video for “Lonely Boy” has viral written all over it. Cut to a random guy seriously getting down to the track outside his office. That’s it: one guy, one song, and 3 minutes of dance goodness. Check out the song and video below. If you like what you hear, “Lonely Boy” is now available as a digital download when you pre-order El Camino here.
