Jenny Lewis & Serengeti – a dalszerző-énekesnő és a chicagói rapper duettklipsorozata
Jenny Lewis amerikai dalszerző-gitáros-énekesnő a Beckkel és Ryan Adamsszel felvett 2019-es On The Line nagylemeze után 2020-ban Jackson Browne-nal és a mali world music sztár Habib Koité-vel szerepelt egy jótékonysági albumon (Let The Rhythm Lead: Haiti Song Summit, Vol. 1), vokálozott egy Ringo Starr-dalban (Here’s To The Nights) és Bruce Springsteen mellett egy Bon Iver-számban (AUATC), de a színészhaver Bill Murray-vel is eljátszott egy Drake-slágert – a chicagói rapper Serengeti (David Cohn) társaságában pedig egy duettklipsorozatot is indított.

A már több mint két tucat albumot jegyző avantgárd-experimentalista rapper az elmúlt évtized első felében a szintetizátoros Son Lux-frontember Ryan Lott-tal és a gitáros-énekes trubadúr Sufjan Stevensszel trióban is adott ki lemezeket (Sisyphus), 2018-ban pedig a Bon Iver-főnök Justin Vernonnal is volt egy közös száma. Jenny Lewis is ugyanabban az évben haverkodott össze vele egy fesztiválon, énekelt is egy Serengeti-remixben (Sun Beating On Me), majd 2019-ben már turnéztak is együtt, a 2020-as járványhelyzet alatt pedig egy duettprojektbe is belevágtak. A Fog minneapolisi indie rock zenekar fronteberének, Andrew Brodernek a produceri segédletével készült ötszámos anyagot decemberben kezdték el dalonként közzétenni stílszerű kis karanténvideókal, melyek sorában most az Idiot című harmadik darab is megérkezett a bikinis Jenny főszereplésével.
a friss Idiot klip, a januári Vroom Vroom és az Unblu decemberből:
I’m an idiot
Forget oblivion
Joan Didion
Pacific Ocean blue
It wrecks me like you do
Wreck me like you do
Don’t be wilted, be my lover
I can’t be your Danny Glover
I got food inside my cupboard
We can both be rediscovered
(I just wanna feel my love)
Always around like a scandal
Says he’s lit like a candle
No shoes inside and he wears sandals
Step outside and make it handled
Trinidad, Trinidad, double jab, left to the body
Light the pads, forget oblivion
Trinidad, Trinidad, double jab, left to the body
Light the pads, forget oblivion
(I’ma ride in a wave)
Don’t be wilted, be my lover
I can be your Danny Glover
I got food inside my cupboard
We can both be rediscovered
(No shirt, no shoes, no kids, no you)
Hands were quick, thought you’d clean
What a knock, self-esteem
It was sad, mother laughed
Gathered up, pack your bag
Time is now, on your path
Fifty-three, wasn’t mad
Found a place above a cloud
Dirty tub, fell in love
(I’ma ride in a wave)
Walked outside, get some grub
High school girlfriend, „hello”, you’d hug
(If it’s full of fake)
Don’t be wilted, be my lover
I can be your Danny Glover
I got food inside my cupboard
We can both be rediscovered
(No shirt, no shoes, no you)
It’s so dark, talking to me
It’s so dark, how can you see?
It’s a sign you don’t need shades
Clear blue skies, yeah, like a cave
Mind’s a maze, complicated
Made it out, glad you made it
But until then, sign the horror
Talk to you later, start my car up
Vroom vroom, on the highway
Billboards look all on the skyway
(Absolutely scientifically impossible)
Vroom vroom, on the highway
Billboards look all on the skyway
Shit
It’s so dark, talking to me
It’s so dark, how can you see?
With my bed, I sleep alone
I’d rather have my telephone
In my dream, I miss my exit
Back to the river
Pussy, please put me to sleep
Relax my mind and count the sheep
Beep beep
The Autobahn is at a creep
The river rising, getting deep
Beep beep
It’s so dark, talking to me
It’s so dark, how can you see?
Clear blue skies, yeah, like a cave
Sunny days, you don’t need shade
Mind’s a maze, complicated
Made it out, glad you made it
But until then, sign the horror
Talk to you later, start my car up
Vroom vroom, on the highway
Billboards look all on the sky way
How long will I wait for you?
To become un-blue
How long?
Barefoot and quietly
Brushed her teeth in her open gown
Simply put on impossible dreams
You talk to me but you think you’re scarlet
Appreciate ’cause I’m feeling groupie
Grabbing you, kissing you all around
While the whole world to see
I’m fine with that ’cause I’m feeling empty
You brushed your teeth in a bathroom gown
I had a moment but I wouldn’t remember
Is this dream or reality?
I want the whole world to see
Baby, I been climbing
The mountain to your heart
I coulda sworn I saw a diamond
Shine in the dark
It was blue
And smooth
How long? (And smooth)
Will I wait for you
To become un-blue (How long?)
Baby, I been climbing
The mountain to your hеart
I coulda sworn (You are a liar)
I saw a diamond
Shine in the dark
For you, for you (Thе mirror image that looks away)
For you (You slid down so I could chase)
And I’m not even in the race

FRISSÍTÉS: április közepén egy negyedik videós dal is érkezett GLTR (vagyis glitter) címmel!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Seven, eight, night
Wound up tight way too long, let go
Half the time
If I die, oh Lord
If I die
Leave some glitter on my eye
Sunglasses on, drop top down
Favorite part of your song in town
Favorite part, made it through the dark
Don’t look back, have a heart
Make this last, dance tonight
And hold on tight way too long
Wound up right, like a spring
Take a shade, enjoy the scene
If I die, oh Lord
If I die
Leave some glitter on my eye
How’s your Instagram these days?
Did you get a lotta action when you had braids?
Looked good on that beach that time near the maze
And the pumpkin, briers, center hanged
Near the park and that couple had it all
Wound up for the photos on the wall
What a lie
What a lie
What a lie
What a lie
Go ahead, try my great baton
Drip my drip with the radio on
Spite on your body, I can turn it down
‘Cause me and you both, we share this town
What? You don’t like Doug Flutie?
Ever had drop, drop Louie?
Ever seen crate and barrel painting?
Collab orange frame Snoopy
Ever had crate and barrel collab spiegel?
Ever had crate and barrel collab poofy?
Hour drop in Djibouti
Ever had crate and barrel on a beagle or bagel?
Ever had Steve Nas little rock cradle?
