Janelle Monáe's "emotion picture" for new album Dirty Computer has launched, incorporating previously released music videos and lots more in a sci-fi magnum opus with lots of heart and bravery.
Lots of videos with costume changes, but I don't think there's one as magical, cool and downright extra-terrestrial as what happens to Watsky in this collaboration with director Carlos Lopez Estrada.
PS: It's lightly NSFW, even if the front side of things is blurred for your protection.
A cut-and-paste eye and mouth technique makes this the strangest beauty video ever, but it also serves a practical purpose in concealing identities when the cops show to arrest director Carlos Lopez Estrada and bust this guerilla video shoot.
Permits? We need permits?
Luckily, things get back on track for further twists and turns.
Animation and whimsy abound in this clever homage to both one-take and NSFW videos. The easy explanation of "Black Sail" is "Polygonal people get down during a date night that ends in sweet sweet babymaking love," but it's a lot more wild and fun than that.
Nothing like powdered substance to help you get carried away. In this case, some fun loving youngsters get insanely kinetic via colorful granules that cause them to physically split apart and defy gravity and physics. Things get progressively weirder — the splitting effect soon jumps to inanimate objects, adding transmogrifying properties along the way — but the party keeps on raging.
