  • DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW If Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey
    For Immediate Release: June 24, 2013 YEAH YEAH YEAHS “DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW if Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey ( Credit: Patrick Daughters) New York, NY…June 24…The Yeah Yeah Yeahs reach new heights today with the video for their new single “Despair.” Skyscraper heights. 102-story, 443-meter, Empire State Building heights, to be exact. "There's been a lot of career highs and lows over the years of being in a band, but in the end, how many can say they shot a video on the top of the Empire State Building? We win,” says singer Karen O. “Move out the way, King Kong, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are gonna get real with you up in this piece!” “Despair” is the second single off the NYC-based trio’s album Mosquito (Interscope), which entered the Billboard Top 200 this April at #5. The concept for the video came courtesy of Noisey.com, who decided they wanted to co-produce a video for the band’s single by pairing New York’s quintessential landmark with New York’s quintessential band. However, until now, no band had ever shot a video atop the World’s Most Famous Building. ”The Empire State Building’s iconographic presence is not limited to any date or age. We are happy to offer our magical canvas, the real magic of the real New York City, to this video,” says Anthony E. Malkin of Malkin Holdings. “Big bands deserve big ideas. So, when Noisey was given the challenge to come up with a big idea for a new Yeah Yeah Yeahs video, we jokingly said… ‘let's get them to play on top of the Empire State Building!!’ Then we said, ‘actually…wait, why not!?’ We called the Empire State Building and not only were they into it, they were a pleasure to work with.

Being involved in different environments made him depend on music to connect to other people. Transition into Fame • He first came into fame as a songwriting and production duo, Neptune, with his friend Chad Hugo in the 90s. • They produced hits for artists ranging from Jay-Z to Britney Spears. He produced some artists most well known songs such as Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl”, Kelis’ “My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Yard,” and Justin Timberlake’s “Senorita.” • In a study done by Complex, during 2003, The Neptunes were responsible for 43% of the songs playing on the radio in the United States.

Dr. Kelton Edmonds was my advisor for this project and I appreciate him helping me to study hip- hop. Dr. Susan Jasko was my advisor at California University of Pennsylvania since 2005 and encouraged me to stay in the Honors Program. Dr. Drew McGukin had the initiative to bring me to the Honors Program in the first place. I wanted to acknowledge everybody in the Honors Department (Dr. Ed Chute, Dr. Erin Mountz, Mrs. Kim Orslene, and Dr. Don Lawson). Doing a Red Hot Chili Peppers project in 2008 for Mr. Max Gonano was also very important. I would be remiss if I left out the encouragement of my family and my friends, who kept assuring me things would work out when I was never certain.
