GRAMMY Award-winning rock duo The Black Keys announce the eighteen-track Ohio Players (Trophy Edition), featuring four previously unreleased tracks, out November 15, 2024, on Nonesuch/Warner Records; you pre-order/pre-save it here. This deluxe edition of the band’s twelfth studio album is a two LP set, in a gatefold jacket, with an alternate cover and new album sequencing.

The Black Keys also released a new song from the set, “Mi Tormenta,” featuring DannyLux, along with an official video directed by Corey Bost; you can hear it here and watch below. Other special guests on the new Trophy Edition tracks, in addition to the many collaborations on the original Ohio Players songs, include Alice Cooper and Beck.

“Mi Tormenta” features the band’s singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and DannyLux both singing in Spanish—a first on a Black Keys record.

The Black Keys have also announced three shows in Latin America in the spring of 2025, bringing their International Players Tour to Lima, Peru; Estereo Picnic festival in Bogotá, Colombia; and Mexico City; tickets are available here.

There also will be an exclusive Amazon edition of Ohio Players (Trophy Edition), pressed on purple vinyl and including the Amazon Music Original bonus track “Let Love Take Its Time.” This is the first time that Amazon Music has released an Amazon Music Original track digitally and on vinyl simultaneously.

Of the album’s Trophy Edition, The Black Keys shared "We held back five of our favorite tracks planning for their release to coincide with our tour of North America. Even though our year got turned upside down, we still needed to deliver these new songs to our fans! These tunes continue the collaborative spirit that you hear throughout Ohio Players including ‘Mi Tormenta’ with our extremely talented brother Danny Lux, ‘I'm With The Band’ and ‘Sin City’ with Beck and, just in time for Halloween, "Stay in Your Grave," our collaboration with Greg Cartwright and absolute legend Alice Cooper!"

“Working with The Black Keys was an experience I’ll never forget. I’ve been a huge fan of their music and style for years and it was fun adding my touch to one of their songs. It’s been cool to see them evolve as a band over time and being a part of this project helped me grow as an artist,” added DannyLux.

The Black Keys secured the #1 Current Rock Album and #1 Current Alternative Album in US sales upon the April 2024 release of Ohio Players. The album also soared to the #5 debut of the week on both Billboard’s Top Rock Albums Chart and Top Alternative Albums Chart and secured the #4 spot on Overall Current Album Sales. Ohio Players earned The Black Keys their sixth consecutive top 20 album in the UK, and also made it into the top 20 in other international markets such as Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more.

The album, which was inspired by band members Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney’s recent “record hang” parties, garnered praise from Rolling Stone, which stated, “Whether they set their retro-rock wayback machine to Memphis in the Sixties, the Midwest in the Seventies, or Manchester, England, and L.A. in the Nineties, it all flows together like a beautifully paced DJ set,” calling the album “arguably the sharpest collection of songs the Keys have come up with.” Ohio Players marked an exciting departure from The Black Keys’ prior releases, as the album brings in new and fresh influences while also still containing the widely loved sound that the duo is most known for. With an emphasis on collaboration, the album features contributions from friends and colleagues, including Beck, Noel Gallagher, Dan “The Automator” Nakamura, Greg Kurstin, Juicy J, Lil Noid, and others.
