Robyn Paige - Righteous



Sometimes new music excites me, and this is one of those cases. Chosen from my emails that I get every so often, Robyn Paige completely stuns in this beautiful narration visual of a music video. She's definitely beautiful in this clip and for sure a looks like an artist. Robyn Paige plays the other woman in this emotionally beautiful music video for "Righteous".

Robyn Paige is definitely making her sound heard, having managed to gain 10,000 hits on this music video alone really shows that "Righteous" has got people talking, and it's no surprise when a beautiful voice comes from this stunningly gorgeous girl. The song is about being torn between the right thing and the wrong thing but being unable to resist the wrong thing. Robyn Paige's vocals easily display the emotion of the song and really manages to hit home with it. It is the official debut single from Robyn Paige, and follows on from her previous song "Say You Will". This song was written by Robyn Paige, Johnson Orchid, and Corazon Baguma.

This music video was directed by Olan Collardy, and features Robyn Paige as the other woman. It's quite loving throughout, and it's clear from the start that something is up when she doesn't even move from her position in the bed whilst he reaches for his phone.

It's a great visual narration, showing how their relationship has unfolded previously and how they built it. Until, three quarters of the way through, the entire music stops as we watch another girl strut her stuff across a car park and enters his car.

We learn that Michael has been cheating and that the someone else is Robyn Paige. The storyline reminds me of Britney Spears' "Perfume", although both visuals are totally different in their own right.

Overall, it's a great concept, with Robyn Paige giving some fire acting skills. The song is intricately beautiful, and has a relatable accompanying music video that easily engages the audience throughout.

Inna Featuring Pitbull - Good Time



For anyone who knows, I actually went on a mini holiday to Dublin to see Inna last weekend. This is the song that started off her set, although it was only part of the countdown and she never actually sung it live. As I'm doing catch-up blogs, today's blog would've been released on Saturday, the day she performed at The Wright Venue in Dublin, Ireland. The song is a grower, and I admit that I didn't like it, myself, at first; but now it's one of my favourite tracks, and I really wish it had been a global hit for her. Inna collaborated with Pitbull on this upbeat pop song titled "Good Time", where we can see her group follow messages on a screen with hashtags.

Inna, real name Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu, is my favourite female artist in the music industry; however, you should already know that she's my queen if you follow my blog as I never stop talking about her. She was completely amazing live and I so want to see her again. She also spotted me in the crowd and pointed to me twice, I have video evidence of that. This song didn't make quite the impact and people had hoped and although Pitbull is a massive name, it didn't really help. Pitbull, real name Armando Pérez, is definitely 'Mr World Wide' as he calls himself, he also has nicknames for various other stars, Inna is: 'International Sensation'. He has collaborated with so many stars and has had various hits, so much so that he's made his name globally known. This song gained popularity much later on from its release, when it featured on the adverts for US drama 'Young & Hungry' as well as in 'Pitch Perfect 2'. The song was written by Steve Mac, Ina Wroldsen, and Armando C. Pérez.

Directed by Barna Nemethi, the music video is completely simple and relaxed, and yet completely fun. It is getting comparisons to Katy Perry's "This Is How We Do", which was released much later than this one.

A coin is inserted into a slot, then computers go looking for Pitbull. He appears on the screen, ready to introduced the song with his rap, as Inna prepares for a dance sequence; the choreography of which is simplistic, yet fun.

The entire music video is fun, the dancers and models and Inna react to each hashtag, which requires them to do something or present something. These action varies from bubbles to her blonde hair, from a pyjama party to golf, from paintball to cheer leading.

A lot of scene changes and costume changes. Surprisingly, it's compact, attempting to include as many actions as possible in such a short video is quite admirable. The ending ends with the need to insert a coin again, much like turning this music video into a continuous loop. Have this video on repeat, and it'll never end.

Overall, it's a total explosion of fun. Inna looks as sexy as ever, and yet her most happiest as she performs all these different actions with her backing dancers and models. It's bright and colourful, and it definitely unleashes fun into the world. It's time to have a good time with Inna & Pitbull.

New Release: Joe Goddard - Lose Your Love



OMG, like what the hell is this? What have I just watched? This is literally beyond crazy! I definitely don't know what to make of this, as of yet; as for the song, it's just as bad although kind of catchy in it's own right. This is most certainly a new release that has gone under the radar, although it's definitely one people will probably not be listening to. Joe Goddard's music video for "Lose Your Love" is beyond weird and totally crazy, and yet it has a fun lilt to it that is quite inclusive.

Joe Goddard is mostly known for being a part of band Hot Chip. He is also a part of The 2 Bears, as well as Greco Roman. Releasing music solo isn't something new since his iTunes page suggests he has released a fair amount of music. He's a DJ mainly. This song is a remix of the original by The Emotions, titled "I Don't Want To Lose Your Love".

The music video is directed by Fred Rowson. It features actor Benjamin Murray acting as the main character Störm, a spirit guru.

This music video is totally out there. Störm starts it all off in the bathroom as he psyches himself up to teach his class.

Benjamin Murray explained that the video was so fun to make. The actors really let go, allowing invisible energy balls to pass between them and absorb inside their bodies. Various scenes show Störm losing control of his class as a new guy comes in.

We see the little love strike he has for a certain female student and his obvious affection leads to jealousy and rage. It consumes him to the point where he is no longer the teacher and that it is all just students reacting to the film that's being shown.

The ending is quite thought-provoking and still doesn't make sense. If anything, this music video is completely absurd and totally weird. I most certainly don't want to watch it again, and although people are finding it hilarious and fun, I just don't see what I get out of it by watching it. I did not get this at all.

Inna - Hot (Dancing In The Dark Video Edit)



It's Thursday Revisit time, and it's obvious I was going to do an Inna music video review due to the fact that I'm going to see her in Dublin, Ireland on SATURDAY! It's so close! After checking what music videos I have already reviewed, I found out that this is the only one left that is older than five years, and it's not a music video I like. I much prefer the original music video to "Hot", which I have previously reviewed. This alternative music video for Inna's "Hot" shows off some performance vibes whilst dancers enact choreography. It's very bright and slightly over the top in a low budget way.

Inna, real name Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu, made her name with this song. Although, it's the previous music video that was pushed out internationally. This one remained an online music video. She will be performing in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday 3rd December 2016, it's the first time I have ever had the chance to see her live, and I am so excited - if you can't tell - and she will most likely sing this song. I've been a fan of Inna's for six years, so this is a dream come true to see her live. For anyone who read my previous review of the original music video, they will know the success of this single, and how much I love this song and that video. "Hot" was written by Sebastian Barac, Radu Bolfea, and Marcel Botezan.

This not so great music video was directed by Florin Botea, who also did the original international music video to "Hot". Two music videos by the same director for this song. One is far superior than the other, so it's no surprise this was an online music video.

Mainly a performance-based music video; we see Inna performing her song, with her usual energy, although she is dressed way over the top. This looks like an eccentric side to Inna, the side that wasn't really her at all.

The dancers aren't anything special, they do the choreography but it's nothing amazing. The visuals fail to capture anything real, and it just comes off very fake.

The bright lights definitely doesn't help, and it's all way too much. It's no surprise that the original version was chosen to market Inna's debut single around the world, although I don't see why they ever released this music video, but I guess it would've been wasted material if they hadn't. The other version is way better and my star rating proves that.

Georgia Entry: Nina Sublatti - Warrior



This year of Eurovision brought the battle of the warriors, as Amber also released a song called "Warrior"; however, Nina Sublatti totally won by making it to the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, whereas Amber didn't make it. Nina Sublatti, for Georgia, came 11th with 51 points. Showing strong female warriors, this video shows girl power and strength in a great visual for Nina Sublatti's "Warrior".

Nina Sublatti, real name Nina Sulaberidze, won the national selection for Georgia in 2015 and therefore came to represent the country at Eurovision. She had previously released a few singles, as well as an album. After Eurovision, she released a few more singles that didn't chart so well. Then she went on to become a judge on the Georgian version of The X Factor. This song was written by Nina Sublatti and Thomas G:son.

The music video was directed by David Gogokhia. It features five models, portraying Tamar of Georgia, who is a Georgian National Hero who ruled Georgia as the first Queen Regnant. The models are Nina Potskhishvili, Mariam Sanogo, Keta Gavasheli, Lina Tsiklauri, and Dea Aptsiauri.

There isn't a lot to this very visual video that is completely filmed in black and white. There's not an awful lot of movement in the video, although there are two very cute huskies.

The performance piece is extremely static. Nina Sublatti was clearly told not to move much, and this does lead to quite a bland visual. However, I guess it's some sort of visual of strength.

Overall it's not that memorable, and definitely hasn't got a lot going on. I don't get why they chose it to be shown in black and white, and I also don't see why Nina Sublatti couldn't give a better visual in her performance piece. I feel there should've been more to this music video.
