Macklemore definitely made his grandmother feel glorious.
Macklemore recently returned with his first new music of 2017, dropping “Glorious” featuring Skylar Grey on June 15. And on Sunday, he followed up with a heartwarming music video for the uplifting single, and it’s hitting us right in our hearts.
The video catches the Macklemore surprising his grandma Helen in California for her 100th birthday, and is emotional. The “Thrift Shop” musician then informs his grandmother that he’ll do anything she wants to do.
The rest of the video sees the 34-year-old gifting his adorable grandmother. A sweet new ride, and the two proceeding to act like rebellious teenagers playing hooky. They egg a neighbor’s house (where Grandma Helen gets in some impressive shots). And buy some new Yeezy’s for Grandma to rock.
In the video they even jam out at a karaoke bar and win big at an arcade. Of course, they even pop some tags at a thrift shop. Then finally pull up to Grandma’s wild birthday party featuring cake, cards and dancers.
The two certainly live by the lyrics Macklemore raps in the song: “I got a new attitude and a lease on life…I find I can sleep when I die.”
Coinciding with the release of “Glorious,” The Mack announced on June 15 via Instagram that he was parting ways with longtime producer Ryan Lewis for his upcoming album. ”
Macklemore’s new album is yet to have a title or release date.
