What at first seems like a fun "guess that aspect ratio" video (I guessed: 9x16) turns out to be a way cooler riff on perspective, as we get a surveillance cam motif mixed with a forward rotating visual plain. Dope, indeed, even if you're more of a QVC person. #HGTV
Stardom as an instant glamour model can be a bitch. Or maybe, it's just the photographers who discover and explout these beautiful people who are truly the bitches. Such is the situation in this tale of Rita Ora going from a street savvy headturner to a glossy pin-up girl under the watchful eye of a creepy Warholian predator type who peels her away from her man.
Dance is definitely the trend of 2015, ever since Sia’s “Chandelier” (and Kiesza’s “Hideaway”) broke some ground last year with their ur-dance videos. This time Muse and director Robert Hales take you inside a chalk-filled silo while two dancers express their kind of creepy selves.
Rihanna's "American Oxygen" is probably a bit more political than you might expect, utilizing a mix of news footage that runs the gamut from tragedy to transcendence.
PS: It has nearly 2 million views in less than 24 hours of being on VEVO and YouTube. Wonder how many it got behind the Tidal paywall...
The spirit of Philippe Petit is strong in this song that nearly shares the same name as Man On Wire, the 2008 documentary about the legendary tightrope walker. Script singer Danny O'Donoghue isn't up quite as high as the twin towers, but damned if things don't look precarious here.
No more wishing they all could be California Girls — or that they were wearing Abercrombie & Fitch — not when you can fixate on Tumblr Girls in various states of undress and intoxication.
Jack White has still got the blues, this time in a haunted art-deco bar where love flickers and fades, but mostly conjures a madness similar to The Shining.
