S. Raekwon has released a video for his latest single “Tall,” arriving on the eve of the release of his EP I Like It When You Smile, available September 2, via Father/Daughter Records. Rakewon will hit the road for a run of North American dates, starting September 24, in Silver Spring, MD with Alex Dupree and Annie Blackman.

“Tall” follows previous single “Talk,” which was released in July with the EP’s announcement. The video for “Tall” serves as a nighttime companion to the charming, vibrant video for “Talk,” both of which were filmed in Coney Island and directed and produced by Rachel Cabbitt and Natalie Leonard from POND Creative.

S. Raekwon shares: “I had so much fun filming “Talk” and ‘Tall’ with POND and I believe that really comes through in the videos. I love the way Rachel and Natalie were able to creatively use film and analog techniques to create a vivid and colorful visual experience that not only compliments, but also furthers the playful nature of the songs.”

Cabbitt and Leonard have this to say about their collaboration with S. Raekwon: “Just as the spelling of ‘Talk’ and ‘Tall’ puts the songs in pairs, we wanted the two videos to have a conversation with one another. We filmed both videos on the same day at Coney Island, ‘Talk’ during the day and ‘Tall’ at night. Our analog technique of shooting on super 8 and scanning digital footage threaded the same visual narrative through both to continue the structure of the bold, colorful and playful world for I Like It When You Smile .”
