WATCH IT: Snoop Lion "La La La" (Eli Roth, dir.)

Everything about this is unexpected, from Snoop Dogg flipping species to Snoop Lion, going from rap to reggae, and horror movie master Eli Roth directing a somewhat family friendly clip for "La La La." Somewhat is a key word, since as much as things change, this homage to kiddie TV has all the weed and women as you've come to expect in Snoop's world. --> watch "La La La"

WATCH IT: Carly Rae Jepsen "This Kiss" (Justin Francis, dir.)

The swirling emotions of young love are front and center in all of Carly Rae Jepsen's music, and director Justin Francis has created a teen-dream party that pulls viewers into that delicious-yet-dangerous feeling. The visual twist is that the party has photo backdrops set-up so Carly and her girls can imagine themselves as the Go-Gos, Wes Anderson characters and even Marie Antoinette. When Carly's boy-crush finally catches up, the fantasy becomes reality and she takes the candy-colored plunge. What is more pop than that?  --> watch "This Kiss"
