JACK HARLOW RETREATS from the spotlight in the video for “Denver,” a deep cut from his third studio album Jackman, released earlier this year.
Directed by Eliel Ford, the video centers the rapper in spaces of solitude that are comforting at times and wholly isolating at others. Jackman followed the release of Harlow’s second album Come Home the Kids Miss You, an unexpected foray into the pop sphere that spawned the biggest hit of his career with “First Class.” With the new album, the rapper reeled it in and set the scene for his reflections on fame and maturity with his home state of Kentucky as the backdrop. But “Denver,” naturally, took Harlow to the mountains of Colorado.
In the video, he looks out across picturesque landscapes under clouded skies. Unlike his other clips, where he’s surrounded his crew from back home or the entourage that culminated around his spike in popularity, Harlow spends most of “Denver” alone.
