Singer Bobby Womack released his first album in 12 years back in June — good news for fans of the artist, no doubt — but the music video for the title track is worth a watch no matter your taste in music. The video’s highlighted as a Mobile Chrome Experiment, and was first revealed back at Google I/O to show off some of the muscle behind Chrome for Android and iOS. It was all created by B-Reel, and it takes advantage of HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS to make an interactive trip through space as you follow a nameless astronaut making his way back to Earth. We’ve seen interactive music videos and playable ones, too, but wrapping it up with a tech demo is an easy way into our hearts. You’ll need to be running Chrome on a device running Android 4.0 or an iOS device using iOS 5.0 to get in on the experience, though you can get a taste of the video’s art style in the video below.
