Even though the pool is empty, there's lots of shimmer and waviness as MØ joins forces with Foster The People for a journey that also includes stops at a theater and a skatepark.
It's MØ vs MØ vs death itself in this dreamlike video inspired by Edvard Munch painting The Dance Of Life.
MØ: “I'm so happy to present this video because it feels very true to the song and to who I am. It was inspired by a painting called ‘The Dance Of Life’ by one of my favorite artists, Edvard Munch. It’s an illustration of three women—one in white, one in red and one in black—and tells a story about three stages of human life: youth, maturity, and old age. I was always drawn to this image as a kid due to its simple symbolism and emotion and have been dying to do a video that could reflect on it. Since ‘When I Was Young’ is all about nostalgia and reflecting on life—especially the past, but also the now and the future—it just seemed like the perfect time to do it." [via YouTube]
MØ leads a polysexual celebration at what appears to a sci-fi, post apocalyptic landscape, but it's actually the abandoned remains of the Communist party in Bulgaria, which just makes everything here even more resonant and beautiful.
Talk about close collaborators... Elliphant and MØ enjoy a night on the town doing what they do: Smoking, drinking, getting undressed and making out.
Is the fact they're dressed like Geishas (in Adidas tracksuits) some kind of commentary on the subservient "we exist to please" role women play in many videos? Hmmm...
Up and coming Danish songstress that is MØ, presents her latest single 'Don't Wanna Dance'. Directed by Georgia Hudson, the video is a fun embrace of music and dance.
MØ — or, if you don't feel like fucking with optionaltaccentwhatever on your keypad, you can call her MoMoMoYouth, or Maiden (which is what MØ translates to in Danish) or Karen Marie Ørsted — dreams of living in a trap star fantasy. She pines over a Diplo magazine cover (nice abs!), imagines waving a XXX flag with her posse on the beach, and being on a spirit quest in the desert.
