To borrow a phrase from LL himself, "Don't call it a comeback, he's been here for years." LL Cool J flexes his rap muscles with Eminem in a slick video that draws deeply on his Def Jam visual lore.
Katy Perry, as usual, goes all-out in this latest clip off 143, going from sky-diving sequence, to some car acrobatics — guest Doechii does her part as well with a drone stunt — while various romantic scenes punctuate the action.
The big news story here — besides it being the official return of one of the world's biggest artists — is that this clip doubles as a launch showcase for the new iPhone 16 Pro, which boasts next-level video capabilities that may give some bigger/fancier cameras a run for their money. Creatively, the music video is essentially the anatomy of a car crash in the midst of a rainstom, but with Abel perservering for as long as possible to reach a sort of transcendence.
There's definitely a glitch in reality here, but Linkin Park are indeed back with new members Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara on vocals, and drummer Colin Brittain.
