We’re not one for April Fools… at least not this year. Nope, instead we are keeping things straight forward and just bringing you another weekly music video mini-review round-up. The theme for this week are music videos that feature a mainstay for any artists – the stage. So if there’s a MV that recently dropped that featured a stage of some sort, it’s probably in this round-up.
Kina Grannis – “Oh Father”
+Pretty cool use of the stage & practical effects
-The slomo falling scene seemed to be shown every 10 seconds
The Flavr Blue – “Hearts Racing”
+I’m digging the sound/vibe
-I feel foolish for just now finding out about this act
Rocky Sandoval – “Main Fling”
+Cool song with a good mid-tempo bounce
-The video ain’t bad considering the limited resources, but it’s not incredibly impressive either
Blush – “Crzy Love”
+The song has grown on me with additional listens
-This is more of an excuse to use b-roll & shaky live footage than it is a proper MV
Steve Aoki x will.i.am – “Born to Get Wild”
+I think I prefer this remix over the original
-But I enjoyed the original video more
Steve Aoki – “Cakeface”
+A self aware celebration of one of Steve’s most signature live show moments
-Maybe I’m old, but I would never want to be caked at a concert…
Mikey Bustos – “One Song at a Time”
+A heart warming video that reflects on some of Mikey’s success
-But the song is somewhat old at this point and shows it’s saccharine roots
Malea – “Give”
+I like the song though I’m still getting used to Malea’s genre change over the past year or so
-VFX alternated between kinda cool and kinda cheesy
