Jordan Barone’s debut music video captures lost love, failed relationships, and solemn loneliness in New York City. Directed by 19 year old film protege, Whipalo (Director of “Check Up” by Leeky Bandz & PnB Rock, “Adonai” by Danny Singh), in a secret luxury apartment in the Bowery section of the Lower East Side, “Same Thing” chronicles one of the 8 million stories in the naked city. The video follows Jordan through late-night love, returning to one he knows will inevitably end, whipping between noir and dream-like sequences, encapsulating lust and longing. The surprise snippet of “Used To” debuts Jordan’s immense range as an artist, enveloping and invoking the energy of the city in short bursts of performances throughout iconic backdrops of subways, scaffolds, and alleys. Both songs will be found on Jordan’s debut EP, Midnight Conversation, set to release late 2018.
