The Spinners Releases New Official Music Video for “After Hours” | WATCH!

THE SPINNERS PREMIERE FIRST MUSIC VIDEO IN GROUP HISTORY
FOR “AFTER HOURS” SINGLE

After 70 years in entertainment, 54 of which were spent building a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-worthy legacy, The Spinners will premiere the first-ever music video in the group’s history for “After Hours,” the second single off their latest album, on Friday, November 8. Full Circle, the group’s 21st studio album — the final album on which Henry Fambrough, the group’s last surviving founding member, appeared — represents Fambrough’s passing of the baton to the four singers he entrusted with the group’s legacy. Full Circle is The Spinners’ first release distributed by Reservoir Recordings, an imprint of Reservoir (NASDAQ: RSVR)

Directed by acclaimed video director Azzie Scott, the new visual invites viewers to get to know The Spinners — Jessie Peck, Ronnie Moss, Marvin Taylor, and C.J. Jefferson — off-stage, after hours.Scott’s conceptual vision for the clip draws inspiration from the up-tempo, horn-laden stepper’s groove, produced by Bernard Grobman; hence lush, jewel-toned, supper club-like environs that complement the “grown and sexy” mood of the song. In the video, The Spinners deliver the sophistication of their slickly choreographed live shows as they serenade a diverse assemblage of beautiful ladies. “My approach to the After Hours music video was to bring a sexy, upscale vibe and aesthetic to the legendary Spinners’ legacy. After Hours is such a new and fresh-sounding track, I felt we had to equally match it with lux and high-gloss visual suitable for such an iconic group. Being tasked with directing the first music video in the Spinners’ history, the gravity of this wasn’t lost on me. I knew I had to come up correct, and I feel we accomplished our goal.”- Azzie Scott

Peck, Moss, Taylor, and Jefferson consider the “After Hours” video an opportunity to write the next chapter of The Spinners’ ongoing musical saga. Group spokesman and bass singer opines: “It’s a huge sign of continued longevity in terms of entertaining the masses and releasing new music.” Fans more familiar with the iconic 1970s lineup of Bobbie Smith, Henry Fambrough, Pervis Jackson, Billy Henderson, Philippé Wynne, and later John Edwards, are sure to be moved by the poignant tribute to the group’s classic-era members, who are all enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Reservoir Executive Vice President of A&R and Catalog Development Faith Newman commented, “We are proud to help bring the “After Hours” video to longtime fans of The Spinners, ushering in a new generation for the legendary group. This latest single and visual offer a fresh, modern take on the group’s beloved signature sounds and aesthetic, while honoring their decades-long legacy.”
