Unless you have an aversion to aggresive orange/blue grading and/or a bit of booty shaking, this new Jason Derulo video from director Colin Tilley is a solid pop clip, filled with dizzying camera moves, cool choreography and even some shadowplay. Plus, it's got 2 Chainz (which I personally always like).
Instead of just poking fun at the Gotye "Somebody That I Used To Love" video (been there, done that), Dale Earnhart Jr Jr take that basic idea and use it to remain undetected by a couple bumbling cops.
Why stop at breaking stuff when you can kill stuff? If you've ever wanted to see a super destructo rawk video take the Gallagher smash act to the ironic next level: This is it.
Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis stumbles across the desert in search of something... It could be salvation, or just a fertile crescent — both of which are represented quite nicely here by a naked woman, who could just be a mirage.
It's basically an On The Road video, but damned if it doesn't have really beautiful cinematography along the Pacific Coast and a loose structure that fits the vibe like a glove.
"Dear Internet and users of the World Wide Web, it is with much joy that we wish to present the video for "Dark Water". We feel that this video really encapsulates the tone of the song in a haunting and strangely beautiful way. Also, there are claymation versions of us--which has been a life long goal. Mission accomplished" - Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
The obvious video touchpoint here is the epic Daniels clip for Manchester Orchestra "Simple Math," which also revolved around a spinning car crash. But, things are played a bit differently here — both in terms of the narrative structure and the overall vibe — and there's no denying the simple fact that the horrible ballet of a car flipping through the air is something that's impossible to rubberneck.
Although "Rio" might bring to mind images of beaches and butt-floss (or Duran Duran, if you're old), director Tim Cruz keeps things gritty (yet still sexy) with a performance video that takes place in contrasting black and white interior locations.
Love comes crashing into Jason Derulo in this flashy video where director Colin Tilley keeps the edit on edge by flashing between a drunken bedroom collision and what may indeed be an eventful car ride. Mixed in throughout is crazy acrobatic dance scenes on a neon-flashed set, making for what looks/sounds like something designed to rev up the charts.
If Muse has always struck you as oh so serious, this new video for "Panic Station" may come as a shock. The behind-the-scenes intro (and outro) confirm that this is meant to be silly, which indeed it is: Crazy costumes, dancing through the streets of Tokyo, characters that could have been pulled straight from Kaiju Big Battel or Yo Gabba Gabba... This is Muse getting the sillies out.
