The song might sound ABBA, but the lyrics and the video make it seem like we shouldn't get too accustomed to our instant-gratification culture, especially if the future is as barren and dire as it looks in this video.
Kendrick Lamar and The Little Homies are back, this time collborating with director Dave Meyers for a video that's "just" a series of striking images one after the other, ranging from a Last Supper to a Grey Poupon break and on and on and on.
Magic abounds in this glossy tie-in to the live action Beauty And The Beast remake in which Ariana Grande and John Legend serenade the aforementioned beauty and beast.
A captivating and tense sci-fi nightmare of dampered childhoods and a very cruel trigger finger of fate, until an act of rebellion leads to freedom out in the wild. Or not.
There's something lo-fi, off-the-cuff and "anti" about the about Tegan and Sara's "Boyfriend" video — which are all phrases that I would use to describe Robin Thicke's notorious "Blurred Lines" smash. But instead of a topless Emily Ratajkowski and the other women who apparently didn't capture the media's attention, we have designer Rachel Antonoff and actresses Sarah Ramos and Mae Whitman, who keep trying to spruce up this mostly bare video, while TeSara stay focused on signing the song and getting this damned (yet awesome) video finished.
Any Insane Clown Posse fan can tell you that magnets and the reason why we're attracted to certain things is beyond comprehension. So it's possible that Lorde can't explain why she fell for the philandering Hills douchebag at the center of this story, but you can be damn sure she knows what she's gonna do to him when she finds out about the other women in his life.
Rather ironic that one of the official videos of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards deals with the more subversive consequences of using social media, as directed by the Eric of Tim & Eric fame.
Zooey Deschanel is dancing with an invisible man. M. Ward is playing with invisible instruments. Together they make a haunting sound that's captured in a practically perfect video that deserves a place on the mantle next to "Chandelier" as one the Best of the Year.
It's not a travelogue. And it's not a romance story. It's a Thriller, burningly slowly over the course of five minutes where it becomes clearer and clearer that something awful may befall Childish Gambino and Jhene Aiko while on their romatic escapade in Hawaii. Just make sure you stayed tuned even if you think you've got it all figured out, because believe me: You know nothing about what lurks at the heart of this one.
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...
