Colton Ford drops his ... toe-tapping cover of Alicia Keyes' 'No One'


Singing slab of soul, Colton Ford, drops his cover of Alicia Keys’ “No One” on December 11. Originally a spontaneous one-off in the studio, “No One” was fleshed out into a full-on club hit by NYC producer Matthias Heilbronn, who’s also remixed singles for Chaka Khan, Angie Stone, Ledisi. The sly video (for the original a capella version)–made with a big wink to the recent Larry Craig “toe-tapping” scandal–was filmed by Bart Everly, who directed last year's acclaimed indie documentary "Let's Get Frank," about Congressman Barney Frank.
