Jack Harlow released a music video for ‘Nail Tech’
In addition to releasing “Nail Tech” as a digital single on streaming and music-purchasing platforms, Harlow also dropped a music video for the song featuring Yung Miami of the rap duo City Girls.
After the music video was released, Billboard interviewed Frank Borin, the director of the “Nail Tech” music video. Harlow and Ace Pro also co-directed the video.
“‘Nail Tech’ is definitely different. The reason why is Jack. I mean, out of all the videos I’ve done, he’s one of the artists who was more involved than almost anyone I’ve ever worked with. Without having to do a treatment, we got on the phone, and we just started talking ideas. We went back and forth a lot,” Borin told Billboard.
Borin continued, “The cool thing about Jack too is he watched almost every single take back, and he had very specific notes. He has a very innate sensibility that some of the best filmmakers don’t have.”
The rapper wanted the ‘Nail Tech’ music video to look like it was ‘from the early 2000s’
In the interview with Billboard, Borin shared Harlow’s inspiration for the “Nail Tech” music video, saying:
“He’s a fan of the big-budget videos from the early 2000s. From the late ‘90s until 2006, the videos were really big. I don’t want to use the word glossy, but they were ultra-contrast. The blacks were just crushed into that detail limit. There was a very distinct look that was around for at least five or six years and hasn’t been seen since. He really wanted to capture that look and feel.”
“Nail Tech” is available now.
