Today marks the release of S. Raekwon's I Like It When You Smile, the latest collection of songs from the NYC-based multi-instrumentalist. Earlier this summer, S. Raekwon shared the first single "Talk," which Stereogum called “a short, sunny indie-pop gem" and the accompanying music video, directed by POND Creative. "Tall" follows S. Raekwon into the evening portion of his Coney Island adventure day. “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.”
