Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler definitely has a hit on his hand. The entertainer revealed his first-ever solo video for the new single "(It) Feels So Good" on Thursday night's American Idol. Back in the day, no band was a bigger deal in the video world than Aerosmith. They were a definitive music video band, and so did Tyler add to his band's majestic legacy with his new solo highly anticipated video?The punchy rock tune is fresh and fun, with heavy breathing, harmonica, cowbell and hand claps. This is the most 'pop' that Tyler has ever sounded, as he exercises taut control over his normally bombastic voice through the choruses. It's a bouncy, effervescent song that shows off Tyler's newly-christened role as a pop culture arbiter, and while it's a bit of a far cry from his work in the legendary rock band Aerosmith, it still has Tyler written all over it, in permanent ink.
The Aerosmith lead singer has been doing this long enough that Tyler still has a great performer's instinct and can play perfectly to the camera in the performance scenes as he throws around his trademark microphone stand with the scarves attached. Tyler's career is making a serious comeback with a new single, a new book and another performance slated with Aerosmith on the stage of the American Idol finale. Giving everyone another look at the rock and roll legend, the career of Tyler is picking up steam.
The 63-year-old rocker seems to look back at his good old days in newly released video, which was shot on April 25 with the Norwegian-born, Los Angeles-based director and photographer Ray Kay and is described by an observer as "everything you would expect to get from a classic Aerosmith video. Without giving too much away, think: pure, classic Steven Tyler in all of his rock star glory." Naturally, the video co-stars a monkey, an elephant and lots of hot girls, because in Tyler's world, this is completely normal.
