Aloe Blacc just put out a music video for “I Need A Dollar,” the catchy tune I discovered watching the opening credits of HBO’s How To Make It In America. This track is the first single off Blacc’s debut album Good Things, due out this summer. The music video splits the screen in half; one side follows a hustler walking the city streets and the other features Blacc singing. At 2:35 the video begins to play a part of his second single titled “Take Me Back.” He’s got a great old-school soul sound, something that’s missing in mainstream music today. I’m really looking forward to the album.

Single: Aloe Blacc – “I Need a Dollar”
After watching the series premiere of HBO’s How To Make It In America, I had to find the track they used for the opening credits. Turns out the song is called “I Need a Dollar” and it’s by soul artist Aloe Blacc. It’s the lead single off his second album called Good Things, due out this April. The song is cool, it’s got a catchy hook, and definitely worth a listen. Preview it below, get the free single, and download the “I Need a Dollar” EP at iTunes (it includes this “I Need a Dollar,” “Take Me Back,” and instrumental versions of each).
