Freeload: John Legend f. Andre 3000 “Green Light (Afroganic Remix)”

story THE FADER

By some serendipitous twist of fate, we ended up checking John Legend’s new clip for “Green Light” on MTV only a few minutes after his triumphant DNC performance. Talk about highs and lows. Even with a too-brief shot of Andre 3K strutting inside a martini glass, Legend’s buppie-ed out ~~liquor commercial~~ music video is one of the more uninspired clips to hit in a minute, a party video minus the party, serious ZZZZZs. Which is a shame, because the song is an honest jam (again, praise due to Three Stacks. Medusa? Robin Givens? Style-freein? This is why we love you!). Fortunately the UK’s Afroganic crew come through in the nick of time with this one-drop reggae re-imagining. Give it a listen, and all that khaki colored grossness just drifts away…and if that doesn’t work, there’s always Sesame Street.
