Black Cards's Dancing In A "Club Called Heaven"

Black Cards, the new group from Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Bebe Rexha, have found themselves a new club, and they have unveiled their first visual endeavor for "Club Called Heaven." Over strobing, reggae-infused backbeats and hints of big band accompaniment, Rexha sings in full-bodied vibrato. The song also features a guest verse by the Philly-based hip-hop duo Chiddy Bang. It will presumably make it's way on their upcoming album debut full-length, will released in 2011. So Stay tuned!
The American experimental electropop band, which formed in July of this year, is composed of Wentz on bass and backup vocals, Rexha on lead vocals. The music Wentz created in Black Cards was inspired by Jamaican sounds which he heard while vacationing with his family. He said, "I spent a lot of time hanging around the beaches and I started to get inspired again by songs like 'Two Sevens Clash' and 'Warriors.' I'd never heard any of these songs but could imagine them having an everlasting imprint, like people would dance to this stuff forever."
The video was shot in black and white footage as a "homage to a classic film" and features the Fall Out Boy bassist engaged in a car chase with cops. ake a look at how Rexha is saved from a car accident, caused by Wentz, and brought to life again. Tour photographer and filmmaker Shane Valdes directs the vintage horror movie-inspired clip, in which Wentz plays the getaway driver while Rexha plays his accomplice after a bank robbery gone awry. Rexha escapes the car and that's when things get weird. The man manages to save his woman's head before their car explodes. He then rushes home to his laboratory, doing some kind of Frankenstein project to bring her to life again magically.
Like every good music video, this one comes with a moral, we think. After poisoning a supermodel in an effort to replace Rexha's body, she keeps singing about how we're dancing in a club called heaven. This is just proof that nature shouldn't be tampered with, folks. Oh, and Wentz gets away from the cops, in case you were wondering. The fun, adventurous video for "Club Called Heaven" pairs perfectly with the party-like, Jamaican sounds of the song. "Club Called Heaven" has a bit of a Rock Steady-era No Doubt vibe to it, which make sense as both bands are said to have drawn inspiration from classic reggae jams. Anyone who has seen a Fall Out Boy video knows that Wentz has never been one for thinking inside the box, but this is definitely some weird science. Welcome back, Mr.Wentz!
