Following the release, Stapleton recently unveiled the official music video for current single “Think I’m In Love With You,” which stars actor Andre Royo (The Wire, Empire, etc.). The critically published Rolling Stone states, “It’s both sad and joyful, but it makes an afterlife so comforting that we’d almost be happy to hasten our demise,” while Music Row praises the song with the words : “Absolutely amazing.” A groove-drenched, butt-shaking, classic soul sound. Stapleton is an artist who captivates you with every note he sings.” Watch the video HERE.
