Big Sean and Jhene Aiko channel the classic Black romantic films of the ’90s in the full video for their collaboration “Body Language” from Sean’s album Detroit 2. The couple revisited the song after releasing a teaser earlier in the year as part of the promotion for Detroit 2. Where the original video didn’t include hook singer Ty Dolla Sign and simply followed Jhene and Sean on a romantic getaway, the new version goes full-on conceptual as the two reimagine fan-favorite scenes from Love Jones, Poetic Justice, and Waiting To Exhale.
Opening with a reference to Love Jones‘s spoken-word poetry readings with Sean taking the Darius role, the video sees them reproducing the workplace flirtation between Justice and Lucky from Poetic Justice, as well as the postal truck road trip. A reference to Waiting To Exhale‘s famed car-burning sequence appears as a flashback/fantasy of Jhene’s, while a mid-video interlude brings back Love Jones for a cab exchange between Jhene and her friend that praises Sean’s D-game. Ty appears in his own scenes, which reproduce the ill-fated bachelor party from The Best Man.
Meanwhile, Sean confirmed during a Reddit AMA that more new music is coming from him and his girlfriend Jhene, as they are working on another Twenty88 release.

“Pretty Ugly” by Archer Stevens stirs the soul with retro-modern rock vibes
“Pretty Ugly,” the inaugural single by Archer Stevens, represents a compelling homage to the golden age of 70s rock music with a fresh coat of modern vibrancy. From the outset, the track masterfully exudes an irresistible energy that embodies vintage and contemporary influences, acting as a sonic bridge between eras. The Phoenix-based ensemble skillfully weaves their influences into a pronounced, personal narrative.
A noteworthy aspect of the track is its instrumentation. Recorded across three diverse locations, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and even Peru, the song has a global resonance. The incorporation of congas introduces a surprising layer of depth and rhythm, giving “Pretty Ugly” a distinct flair that separates it from cookie-cutter rock releases. This thoughtful musical choice enhances the song’s groove, complementing the shimmering guitar lines and soulful vocal delivery.
Lyrically, “Pretty Ugly” plays on contrasts, embodying the emotional push and pull of life’s dualities. The heartfelt lyrics evoke a sense of intimate admiration and longing to please a partner, while the melodic structure ensures the track remains uplifting despite its introspective qualities.
By drawing inspiration from the enduring spirit of rock legends such as Elton John, Joe Cocker, and the Rolling Stones, Archer Stevens pays tribute to their predecessors without resorting to imitation. The soaring vocals and driving rhythm establish “Pretty Ugly” as a cathartic anthem that appeals to classic and contemporary rock enthusiasts. With this debut, Archer Stevens distinguishes itself as a band unafraid to experiment and honor its musical heritage, thus carving out its unique sonic identity. The result is a richly layered auditory experience that captivates from the first listen, revealing engaging narratives within the music.
