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.

The video can be viewed on Youtube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCHTAFjE3Sg

About Black Stax

As the avant-garde of Seattle hip-hop and “displaying soulful depth and thought-provoking messages like modern-day prophets,” according to the Jazz Music Examiner, Black Stax makes creative, challenging and emotional music with an injection of hip hop and 70s-era soul.  The group is comprised of MCs Silas Blak and Jace ECAj and vocalist Felicia Loud and they’ve been featured in The Stranger, The Examiner, Publicola.com and national publication DEFT Magazine for their recently released debut album Talking Buildings,  which is an eclectic, urban mix.  

A collaboration that works, Black Stax successfully blends musical genres and attracts a varied and supportive following.

"Seattle vocalist Felicia Loud is about to go back in time. The Central District resident and current vocalist for hip-hop group Black Stax is starting a month long residency this weekend where she'll be portraying the late blues and jazz singer, Billie Holiday. That's an incredible task to take on but I can't think of any other urban soul singer locally that could pull it off besides her." -By Jonathan Cunningham
