“Beautiful People (Stay High)” is an upbeat song with a party vibe that features contributions from music producer Dan The Automator and singer/songwriter Beck. The Chris Saunders-directed music video showcases “beautiful people” from around the globe dancing and partying to the tune.

The Black Keys announced Ohio Players in early January. According to bandmembers Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, the release was envisioned as a “Saturday-night party record” and will feature guest appearances in various capacities by Noel Gallagher, Greg Kurstin, Juicy J, and Alice Cooper.

“We had this epiphany: ‘We can call our friends to help us make music’,” Carney shared while announcing the album. “It’s funny because we both write songs with other people – Dan all the time [as a solo artist and producer], me when I’m producing a record. That’s what we do.”

Ohio Players is currently scheduled to drop on April 5. It will be the duo’s 12th studio album and serve as a follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2022 record Dropout Boogie.

Alongside the announcement, the band presented the second single from the album titled “Eagle Birds.” Check it out below.

The Black Keys also shared a cover of the album and a tracklist via social media.

“Let’s Rock” was recorded in vocalist Dan Auerbach’s studio in Nashville while the band members produced the album themselves. The release features Leisa Hans and Ashley Wilcoxson on backing vocals.

“When we’re together we are the Black Keys, that’s where that real magic is, and always has been since we were 16,” Auerbach said in a statement.

“The record is like a homage to electric guitar,” – drummer Patrick Carney added. “We took a simple approach and trimmed all the fat like we used to.”

Following the release of the album, The Black Keys are set to tour North America in fall. The band was also scheduled to perform at Woodstock 50 festival in August, but decided to cancel their appearance due to “scheduling issues.”

The American rock duo consisted of guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney, recently presented song “Lo/Hi,” which represents the band’s first new music in five years.

The song is both written and produced by Auerbach and Carney, who recorded the track at Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, Tennessee according to The Rolling Stone. You can hear it below.

The Black Keys most recent album release came in 2014 when they presented their eighth studio album Turn Blue. The record was a success at the charts, topping US Billboard 200, and was received well by the critics. After the follow-up tour, the band decided to go on an indefinite hiatus in 2015.

While Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney neglected The Black Keys a bit in the past few years, that doesn’t mean they weren’t busy with side projects. Auerbach formed a garage rock band The Arcs in 2015 and released his second solo album Waiting on a Song in 2017. Carney, on the other hand, was involved in several music projects as a drummer and producer including albums by Michelle Branch, Tobias Jesso, Jr. and Karen Elson.
