Howdy programmers! It’s Andy Gesner and the HIP Video Promo staff coming at you with a super group video that is as exciting as it is unusual! Consisting of The Presidents of the United States of America front man, Chris Ballew, and alternative hip hop artist and Sir Mix-A-Lot protégé, Outtasite, this super collaboration titled The Feelings Hijackers will have you humming along to their brand new single “Soul Rollin” in a matter of seconds.

Chris Ballew and his band, The Presidents of the United States of America, are a legendary part of the 1990s alt rock scene. Having penned the hits “Lump,” “Peaches” and “Kitty,” Ballew has permanently embedded himself in the eardrums of several generations. Hell, PUSA even performed at Mt. Rushmore on Presidents Day! The Feelings Hijackers captures the same feel-good enthusiasm in the new single “Soul Rollin.” The song is an upbeat number which features Ballew singing the irresistibly memorable chorus line, while the verses are rapped and rhymed by the talented Outtasite. What is especially unique about this song is the structure, featuring only two choruses, one verse, and an outro. This unusual combination makes the listener even more tempted to hear the song for the second time, without it being drawn out and repetitive like many of today’s pop songs.

To go along with the personalities of its musical craftsmen, the video keeps up with its equally upbeat and colorful nature. The clip consists of an almost psychedelic combination of cuts that follow the beat of the tune, such as the claps and the guitar riff. The entire video is done via green screen and features the two musicians in some zany settings, one example being a bobble head on the dashboard of a car! “Soul Rollin” is one of those video creations that transposes its enthusiasm onto the viewers without being cheesy or goofy. The Feelings Hijackers have years of training in such a craft, and show off their masterful execution.

The Feelings Hijackers have partnered up with Magmata Records to bring you their 22 song album aptly titled SupeRecord. The album contains a combination of new and unreleased material, as well as previously released re-mastered favorites. The album is currently available on iTunes, Amazon, and other online outlets.

We hope you will enjoy this high-profile and high energy clip! We’ve got lots of The Feelings Hijackers stuff here at the office and would love to share it with you and your viewers, so let us know and we’ll get it to you right away.
