Aloe Blacc: "Loving You is Killing Me" (Live in Studio) (Video)

It appears that Stones Throw and soulman Aloe Blacc are taking a different route to promote his upcoming Good Things record. As we have all become accustomed to, artists typically toss out leaks and downloads throughout the month or two preceding a release. And while some tracks from this record have leaked, it's been more about displaying the live essence of the music created by Blacc and the Grand Scheme by pushing out videos of them in the studio.

And today, Stones Throw has released footage of the absolutely funky and fun "Loving You is Killing Me." Considering its lyrics and message, you'd think this track might be at least slightly depressing or some kind of ballad. Instead, Blacc and the Grand Scheme turn it into a riveting kiss-off anthem that's admittedly inspiring my inner-dancer*.

Good Things is due out Sept. 28.

*OK, I don't have an inner-dancer, but you get it.
