This has been amongst my YouTube recommendations for quite some time now, so I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to watch and review it. This music video is pure magical, and the song is amazing even if it is unmemorable - talk about relating perfectly to the song, and making us all jealous in the process; this is the type of relationship we all want! Watch Samantha Jade and her on-screen lover Levi Neufeld become "Circles On The Water" as they spend time together in this adorably cute music video.
Samantha Jade, full name Samantha Jade Gibbs, is an Australian singer/songwriter who is best known for winning the fourth season of The X Factor Australia. She has had a successful career to date, having charted well in her home country since winning the TV talent show. She has also done some acting in Home and Away, as well as House of Bond. We can presume this single is from her upcoming third studio album; unfortunately it hasn't charted well, managing to get to number 270 in Australia. It totally deserves to do better, the song is a killer - although it isn't all that memorable and would get forgotten if heard on the radio; however, the music video makes up for it in every way. This needs a remix that launches the song internationally! "Circles On The Water" was written by Johan Gustafson, Hayley Aitken, and Cassandra Ströberg.
The music video is completely relatable to the song, and as I previously mentioned, Samantha Jade and on-screen lover, actor and model Levi Neufeld makes us all jealous with their relationship goals on-screen relationship.
They do a lot of couple things, whilst managing to convey their chemistry throughout. It's a great display of emotion whilst they go camping, play in the arcade, go cliff golfing, play basketball, curl up in bed, and every thing else.
Overall this music video completely reflects the song in every way. It's sweet and totally adorable. Samantha Jade is certainly a rising star in the music industry, and I hope that she has a global number one sometime soon, and/or represents Australia at Eurovision. This song and music video just proves how incredible she really is. The only thing that lets this down is the performance piece, which isn't memorable at all.
This is one of those sorts of songs that grow on you. I've heard this song so many times now that I've started to like it; yet, at the same time, I'm still not going to be a fan of this track. I wish it wasn't in the Top Ten of the UK Singles Chart, just so I don't have to review it (yeah, I had two other options, but this one is more likely to drop out sooner than the other options I had today); since Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber is still on top with "Despacito", I kind of had no option. This video has all the coloured filters you can imagine and want, distorting reality yet keeping it real. Watch Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, and Big Sean perform "Feels" on what looks like a tropical island, as Calvin Harris rocks up in the background with a guitar as colour distortion switches up this music video!
Calvin Harris, real name Adam Wiles, has really come a long way since his debut and is absolutely bringing it when it comes to music; his latest album is all collaborations, showing off his producing side, which we've seen before; however, I truly believe we prefer his own vocal music, as that is what soars him up the chart, in some cases. Regardless, he continues to be a top DJ that we continue to love. Featured on this track is Pharrell Williams, who has also been bringing it over the past few years; he's definitely a solid performer and vocalist, one everyone wishes to collaborate with one day. Katy Perry also appears on this track; real name Katy Hudson, she's quickly pushed herself up there with the top female singers of the world. And then there's Big Sean, real name Sean Anderson, the rapper who comes in and out of mainstream music and also manages to stay on top form. This is one heck of a collaboration, it's just a shame that this song is a grower and not an instant catchy hit, but it's one that stays in our head annoyingly. It was written by Adam Wiles, Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Brittany Hazzard, and Sean Anderson.
Directed by Emil Nava - here's his name again, definitely an in-demand music video director - this visual is taking colour distortion to the next level; pretty much using every colour filter imaginable to not only infuse summer but to show that colour doesn't matter.
All three vocal artists nail this performance piece, but I feel that there isn't a lot for them to do, and there's more focus on the colour, making us blink so much that we practically miss what they're doing; not that they're able to do much since Pharrell Williams is trapped in a boat in the middle of a lake surrounded by sand; Katy Perry is lying down in the grass with a bright yellowy/orange dress that is unflattering on her, hiding away; and, as for Big Sean, he's sitting down on a chair as if he's the King of this tropical island, but he can't embody his lyrics because of his two parrot side-kicks, that totally steal the show.
There's just not an awful lot going on in this music video. The colour transforming filters can either capture the audience or turn them away, and since they stick with this idea, everything else loses focus and gets sent into the background.
Overall, this music video deserved to be better, it embraces summer and goes over the top with colour filters - it's literally the only thing I can comment on. It's interesting to an extent and we all want to visit that place, but it's not awesome at all.
I've been watching RuPaul's Drag Race, and I am now on Season 9 - I truly am addicted since I only started watching a month ago; anyhow, the queens lip-synced for their lives to this song, and I truly realised how much I love this track; hence why I am reviewing this song today. After watching the music video in full today, for the first time, I realise it isn't as good as the song itself, although it is a typical 00's music video. Watch Madonna ride in Ali G's limousine going from club to club playing this song, as well as turning into a bad-ass animation superheroine in this music video for "Music".
Madonna, full name Madonna Ciccone, is pretty much the biggest female artist in the world. She has literally managed to stay current over a number of decades and eras - very few female artists manage to do this. However, lately, she hasn't been doing so well when it comes to the singles chart; this seems to be the consensus when it comes to long-time females in the industry; heavy-weights who have been going since 80's and 90's haven't been able to soar up the singles charts even though their albums manage to do just that. This song is still one people love to this day and charted at number one in various countries including the UK, the US, and Australia. "Music" was written by Madonna and Mirwais Ahmadzaï.
Directed by Jonas Åkerland, this music video embodies music just like the song does. It mostly takes part in a limo, which is where we mainly hear music - not in a limo, but in a car; you know what I mean. Other places include clubs and bars, which also happens in this video. Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G stars as Madonna's driver; not only that but her longtime backup singer Niki Haris and actress Debi Mazar also star in the video.
Throughout, there are great comedic scenes between Madonna and Ali G. He's driving them to two clubs; the first one sees him being the DJ, where Madonna is dancing to her own song with her girls. The second one sees him being denied entry as Madonna and her girls attend a strip-club; she later brings the strippers on board the limo.
The animation is cool throughout, with Madonna becoming a superheroine - who we'll never forget; Madonna looks amazing as an animated character.
However the video is lacking in some respect, it could have been bigger, better and more involving of the audience. Although, during this video, she was four months pregnant; as a little twist, she's wearing a necklace that says 'Mommy'. I feel it's highly forgettable, and I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, but I have no recollection of ever seeing it. It's just not something I'd easily remember - and that's not good at all since the song is fierce in every way.
We have been waiting for this music video ever since the song was released last month; and, now it is finally here! For those who want to explore my articles about this track, you can read my CelebMix "Fade Away" Teasers, CelebMix "Fade Away" Review, Outlet Magazine "Fade Away" Review, Electric Mode "Fade Away" Review, CelebMix "Fade Away" Music Video Review, Outlet Magazine "Fade Away" Music Video Review, and Electric Mode "Fade Away" Music Video Review. This means I don't really have a lot to comment on when it comes to this music video, but I am obsessed with this visual, that I can't stop watching. The song, itself, is my current alarm sound to wake me up in the mornings - that's how much I love this song. Watch Inna hang out with her girls in The Bahamas in this serene music video for the Sam Feldt X Lush & Simon track which Inna features on, titled "Fade Away".
Sam Feldt, real name Sammy Renders, made his name known all around the world with his version of the classic song "Show Me Love" which was originally sung by Robin S - also titled "Show Me Love". This launched him as an international DJ and he has had some moderate chart hits that followed. Regardless, he continues to bring it with every song, and I am so happy he chose Inna to feature on this gorgeous song. This collaboration is with Lush & Simon, who made their names known when they collaborated with Don Diablo and Steve Aoki on "What We Started"; they're definitely ones to watch as they continue to bring out hits we cannot stop playing. The vocals for this track comes from Inna, real name Elena Apostoleanu. She's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, female Romanian singer in the whole world. She has many hits behind her and is gearing up to release her fifth studio album. This song has charted in a few countries but hasn't had the success it clearly deserves. Now that the music video is out, I'm hoping it will create waves and turn into a summer smash.
Directed by Barna Nemethi, this music video showcases Inna having a good time with her friends in The Bahamas. Alongside her, are makeup artist Anca Buldur, and model Joanna FX.
There are various scenes throughout, with the opening one showing all three women in a Camaro creating tyre tracks on the sand. We later see them driving on the road, wearing wrestling masks, they later pick up a guy - a hitchhiker. Towards the end, he jumps out of the moving car as Inna takes a photo - he so could've been a love interest to link to the song, but that didn't happen.
Other scenes see them walking on a boardwalk, and at a beautiful hut-like treehouse-like place - where, we all wish we could visit. It's clear that it was a very windy day in The Bahamas when they filmed this music video since their hair is constantly getting in their faces.
Overall this music video exudes summer in every way - just like the song does. Everything going on in the visual is what we would love to be doing every time we hear this song. It truly captures summer, and the song will definitely be one of my 2017 summer tracks, I just hope that the release of this music video will enlighten millions of people to this brilliant song.
Kesha continues to surprise us by dropping another new music video and even giving us a snippet of another new song at the very start. Having just written up an article about this for CelebMix, I'll do my best to not write the same comments, I suggest you head over there and read my article on this music video. This has certainly excited me for her new album, just like last week's release of "Praying". Watch Kesha and The Dap-Kings Horns team up for her second song release from her new album "Rainbow", where she heads to a bar to perform in this music video for "Woman".
Kesha, full name Kesha Sebert and originally known as Ke$ha, is making her comeback, finally. This song is another scorcher and shows her versatility as well as her direction for her new album, "Rainbow". This is the fun-style Kesha we like to see, and she's completely happy and relaxed in this music video. The song is explicit but it's so damn catchy I cannot stop listening to it. The fact that this song and previously released "Praying" are tracks I can have on repeat all day long just shows that this new album is going to be a sure-fire hit and completely addicting! This song was written by Kesha Sebert, Andrew Pearson, and Stephen Wrabel.
Directed by Kesha Sebert & Lagan Sebert, this music video is basic compared to "Praying"; however, they clearly chose the right song for this low-budgeted music video because it fits the song perfectly. Kesha is a motherfucking woman, as she states and this music video shows that she's independent and doesn't need "a man to be holding [her] too tight".
The opening gives a snippet of a new track, which fans have assumed is "Hunt You Down" before Kesha stops the track and slams right into the first verse of "Woman". She's driving her car down the road with The Dap-Kings as her passengers; the guys who play the horns are in the back. They arrive at the Oddity Bar, which is where they're playing.
The rest of the narrative sees Kesha performing the song, totally in her element and loving being on stage. This is literally what she was born to do, and it's incredible to see her enjoyment. In verse two, she switches it up by laughing out some of the lyrics. She also heads to the bar with her backing vocalist Saundra Williams of The Dap-Kings; where they have a few shots. The rest of the scenes are of Kesha on stage.
Overall, the music video works perfectly with the song. It may be basic compared to "Praying" but who needs anything more than this? I feel that they could've played out the narrative a little bit more, especially when they headed to the bar; I was expecting the story to extend slightly. However, the performance is on point throughout, and no matter what Kesha is going through, #FreeKesha, we know that she's putting 100% of herself into this newly released music.
