We’re keeping this week’s collection brief with a slightly smaller list. But they are all intruiging watches cause they each incorporate some type of Fantasy and/or Science Fiction element. One of the coolest things about the video medium is that artists can explore an entire different world and character that we wouldn’t other wise hear on a record. Onward to the mini-reviews!
Kina Grannis x Ken Loi – “Write It in the Sky” (Remix)
+Production (both musically and visually), Arden Cho as a lead, Sci-fi motifs
-Although it’s subtle, the AT&T product placement with a 2014 phone for what is supposedly the future just irks me
Rocky Rivera – “Pussy Kills”
+Strong track, refreshing to hear a female rapper not named Nicki
-The occult themes strayed between intriguing and corny
Jin Akanishi – “Mi Amor”
+That laser guitar is one of the coolest props I’ve seen in a while, catchy tune
-Video could have used more of the choreographed action throughout
Jabbawockeez x The Bangerz – “Trick-or-Beats” (Highway Lights)”
+Dancing is sick, as always
-I wouldn’t have minded some more visual variety
Conchita Campos – “Ease My Mind”
+I’m liking the noir/Hitchcockian feel to the video
-It’s low budget roots can’t be denied
Steve Aoki x will.i.am – “Born to Get Wild”
+will.i.am’s penchant for catchiness
-will.i.am’s penchant for banality
