No bass to be found in this version of Meghan Trainor's hit "All About That Bass," but we've got Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and their classroom instruments...
Even though this is billed as an "Alternate Video," any video with song lyrics is really a lyric video — and this is a perfect example one that's smart and ambitious. "Agora" starts by touring a cabinet of curiosities and pharmaceuticals before whipping around to show off the rest of the apartment. The real highlight, however, is the crazy Transformers stop-motion hallucinations outside the window.
Remember kids: Only use prescription pills as intended. Unless you need to make a creative lyric video...
Everybody knows dumping a body in the LA River is a bad idea. It's paved. And shallow. But, using it as a place to set fire to bad memories, bad habits and bad vibes is very smart, indeed. Director Mark Pellington runs through memories and fears as only he can, mixing up film styles and references in a tricky way that's as easy to follow as a sharpened knife edge. If it feels a bit personal, well, maybe knowing that the star of the video is French actress Juliette Buchs — married to Cage The Elephant singer Matt Schultz — adds even more clues and resonance.
Twenty-five years ago, when he himself was twenty-five (!!!!), Lenny Kravitz debuted with a plea for all of us to let love rule. Twenty-five years later, Lenny learns that love is a dangerous thing in, by far, his steamiest video ever — and that's including "Black Velveteen".

It's like a booty arms race, and JLo ain't giving up her throne without a fight. Here's a teaser for what she's got cooking with Iggy Azalea and director Hype Williams. It's safe for work, but damn... Get ready for this to be very big.
You'll fall in love at the roller rink. Or more precisely, she'll fall in love with you once she sees your sweet moves during All Skate. How could she not? At least, in your fantasies that's how it would play out, right?
A lovely video, especially if you came of age when your weekends were filled with rollerskate parties and unrequited crushes...
This likely isn't what you think of when you think "dance video" but damned if it isn't a great example of how to make it work with its own off-kilter rhythm. Essentially an exploration piece, we encounter what could be a lost tribe living in a forgotten place, communing with one another through hypnotic movement and physical contact.
