We’re only two weeks into 2018 and Sylvan LaCue already owns my favorite album of the year and will surely land high on my year-end list with Apologies in Advance.
Outside of the highly entertaining NFL playoff games this weekend, AA is all I was listening to. And today, we’re blessed with the album’s sixth video.
Following clips for “Best Me,” “Grateful,” “Guilt Trip,” “Selfish” and the Hov-inspired “5:55,” the artist formerly known as QuESt keeps it coming with one for the standout cut, “Coffee Break.”
“My team and I wanted to return back quickly once the album dropped. We put a lot of effort into rolling out singles so we could bring in as many new listeners as possible leading up to the release, and we didn’t want to let go of that energy,” LaCue says. “I feel like outside of the singles we’ve already released, ‘Coffee Break’ is a song that I would play someone if they wanted to know what ‘Apologies in Advance’ was all about. Essentially for those who may or may not be thinking of listening to the album, hopefully this will take that curiosity over the edge in a positive way.”
Directed by Jonathan Benavente (of course), Sylvan posts up in front of a dismal brick wall as he lets loose a series of passionate bars about paving his own way and making the most of his talent and opportunities.
