Crown Royal: It's Apple Time by Anomaly New York
- Location:
JB Smoove may be more known for his standup work and his comedic turn as Leon on Curb Your Enthusiasm, but the comic gets slick and full of song in the latest spot for Crown Royal.
The whiskey maker, a Diageo brand, is pushing its flavored elixirs – Crown Royal Regal Apple and Crown Royal Vanilla – and it celebrates with a showstopping musical, ‘Crown Royal Regal Apple: The Musical’ featuring Smoove.
Decked out in a sharp hat and a velvet jacket, Smoove sings his way through an elaborate dance number while shots of Crown are being poured and downed by the choreographed nightclub crowd. The number is a high-powered funk and soul groove and Smoove handles the crooner role with style.
Smoove and his crew teamed up with director Greg Brunkalla, Anomaly New York and Storefront Music to create the original track, ‘It’s Apple Time, Baby,’ and a series of short films, which also include an exuberant dance number choreographed by Fatima Robinson.
