The Black Keys have just shared a music video for their new song “Beautiful People (Stay High)”. The track serves as the first single from the duo’s upcoming studio album Ohio Players.
“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.
