We had the pleasure of interviewing “Captain” Kirk Douglas over Zoom video.
The Roots guitarist “Captain” Kirk Douglas issues a brand new single and music video entitled “We Can Be One” under his solo imprint Hundred Watt Heart.
The New York-based GRAMMY® Award-winning guitarist and vocalist steps into the spotlight with this introspective and infectious anthem. The track hinges on a wah-pedal drenched funk riff, simmering beat, and boisterous horn section. It locks into an Afrobeat-infused strut as he repeats an undeniable and uplifting mantra on the hook, “We can be one.” The Alexander Fischetti-directed accompanying video captures this spirit and highlights Kirk’s powerful presence as a frontman in his own right. It harnesses the track’s psychedelic sound and influences from funk to jazz to jam and everything in between, establishing Kirk as a genre-defying master of his craft.
Most importantly, “We Can Be One” paves the way for his anxiously awaited new full-length solo LP—due out very soon.
Stay tuned for more from “Captain” Kirk Douglas.
Audiences worldwide recognize “Captain” Kirk Douglas’s scorching singular style as a six-string powerhouse. Joining The Roots back in 2003, he has supplied guitar and background vocals for a series of critically acclaimed Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200, including The Tipping Point [2004], Game Theory [2006], Rising Down [2008], How I Got Over [2010], and Wake Up! [2010] with John Legend. The latter garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Awards, namely “Best R&B Album” and “Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance” for “Hang On In There.” In addition, his guitar powered The Roots’s tastemaker-approved …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin in 2014. Between countless sold-out live shows, he holds down guitar duties for the band nightly on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He also notably forces with Gibson Guitars to release his own signature SG model.
