The new Justin Timberlake music video isn't really a music video. And it isn't quite a documentary as much as it's the start of a social stunt with a real world component.
The story starts on January 12 when a mystery couple got engaged on the Long Island Railroad with a Justin Timberlake song as the soundtrack (played on a Beats Pill, of course). And now the search is on for this couple, with a hashtag — #haveyouseenthiscouple — posters, appearances and this video, which also features lots of interviews with families and couples about the mysterious ways of love. Know the couple? You email [email protected], or even call a tipline.
Is this couple truly out there? Is it all just a stunt? Do they exist? Am I cynic? Does it matter?
This new Daughtry track — not to be confused with the Flaming Lips song of the same name, or that old Three Doors Down hit — gets matched with an epic L.A. story about everyday heroics that often get overlooked or misunderstood.
Also heroic? Former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry himself, who suddenly seems ready to leave the hard rock shadows for a shot at mass stardom..,
The blonde in P.R. Brown's poppy new Hot Chelle Rae clip clearly has a lot going on. She's pretty, she's getting a free concert from HCR in her lofty downtown LA neighborhood and she gets to choose amongst the enthusiastic band members in what seems to be a data-moshing remix of the classic board game, Mystery Date.
Director Chris Robinson takes superstars A$AP Rocky and Skrillex to the Dominican Republic for the gorgeous-meets-dangerous scenery and the grimiest basement party of all time. The vibe is fun (assuming City of Godis your kind of fun) and the partying truly epic - plus you get to see Skrillex in his natural habitat, baking in the tropical sun.
Memories get distorted as if reflected in a funhouse mirror in this ode to enduring love. The centerpiece is an old, synchronous couple who visit a fun house of memories, remembering the ups and downs that brought them closer together, but they pass the ring onto Justin TImberlake for the last last third of this 8+ minute clip so he can navigate his own maze of mirrors.
