Alex Warren Stars In A New Music Video With Jelly Roll

Alex Warren makes another mark with a new collaboration. In a track with Jelly Roll called “Bloodline,” released on May 30, the video features a modern spectacle.

The video opens in dramatic fashion, with Warren holed up in a smoky tavern that feels ripped from a Game of Thrones set. A war is raging just outside the walls, and a burly stranger delivers a grim forecast. “The enemy shall be upon us by nightfall. This tavern will be our tomb.” As those foreboding words echo through the room, the first verse drops — and so does the intensity.

Draped in era-appropriate garb, Warren steps into the role of a reluctant leader. He implores the tavern’s patrons to rise up and resist. “In the dead of night, on that broken road. I won’t let you walk alone,” he sings with raw conviction.

Just when the effort seems futile, Jelly Roll materializes from the shadows like a prophet in the fog. He comes hooded, smoke-wreathed, and ready to bring the energy. The two ignite the room in a chorus of rebellion, turning the once-defeated crowd into a mob of newly awakened warriors. And then, in a true comedic twist, the climax gets hilariously undercut. Thus, someone crashes through the tavern door with the news that the war is over. Crisis averted — cue the celebration.

The video arrives hot on the heels of the duo’s debut performance of “Bloodline” at Stagecoach in April and follows a string of major moments for both artists. For Alex Warren, Bloodline is a very strong physique. Especially when it came to making a hit with  “Ordinary.” The song certainly keeps up with building up the pop star’s reputation for being one of the new voices among pop’s most emotionally transparent ones.

Jelly Roll, meanwhile, is fresh off a high-profile run. She supported Post Malone on the Big Ass Stadium Tour. Thus making a stretch that’s included everything from heartfelt performances to a show-stopping surprise appearance by Eminem in Detroit.

Together, Alex Warren and Jelly Roll are proving that sometimes the most compelling music comes when worlds — and centuries — collide.
