Black Stax Debuts “I Love My Life” Music Video, Celebrates Love, Life and Positivity Through Urban and Soul Influenced Track

Seattle, WA / February 15, 2011  - Black Stax, whose debut album, “Talking Buildings” was released last month on iTunes, today releases their first music video for the single, “I Love My Life,” which celebrates life, gives appreciation to heritage and demonstrates the positive, home-grown vibe of Black Stax and this urban and soul influenced song.

“We transformed a space use for welding and made it into a family BBQ.  Literally.  Added some cameras, lighting, good friends and some talented people and walked away with a music video,” says Jace of Black Stax.

The music video is directed and edited by Seattle’s Chris Parker and was shot in the industrial and artsy  Georgetown neighborhood.

“ ‘I Love My Life’ is about making the most of every day and recognizing those that came before you.  We are huge on family and were able to share the experience of recording our first music video with those who mean the most to us.  We hope everyone likes the result!,” added Felicia Loud of Black Stax who is the main feature of the video.
