Almost every artist on the planet decided to drop a music video this week, just while I was away on vacay. Great, just great. So now, I have to catch up on all them visuals, haha :p No need to worry, though! I've gathered them all for you right here! First up is Taylor Swift, who dropped a bomb on us by not only announcing her new album "1989" due in October, but at the same time releasing the clip for "Shake It Off". And just like her VMA performance, the video is filled with lots of choreography, that has her just looking ridiculous to be frank. From Ghetto to Black Swan, you're not pulling it off, honey :p Watch Taylor, Who Thinks She Can Dance, below. |
Next up are the British indie pop boys from Bastille. Their upcoming EP "Oblivion" is on the way, so in anticipation of that record coming out, the band has dropped new single "Bad News". The track is quite eerie and it has an equally peculiar video to go along with it. They have dusted of their kaleidoscope filled with old imagery, cartoons and creepy mouths lipsynching the lyrics. The entire clip is grainy and dim, curtesy of the footage and photography like effects. This is a definite eye catcher! Watch below. |
The Weeknd is never one to shy away from incorporating sex into his songs, albeit in a very subtle way. His new video for "Often" though, is one big snoozefest! It's just four minutes of Abel getting high as kite in a hotel room, inviting some hookers over... and that's about it really. What happens next is up to your imagination. Watch the dull video below. |
And now for a video that has done the impossible : making me want to go back to my student years! Not really, but going to school seems like one swell time in Charli XCX latest video for "Break The Rules". Charli is definitely to cool for school as she wreaks havoc on a schoolbus (with a driver that SERIOUSLY looks like Otto from The Simpsons!) and going to a trashy lingerie shop. Because that's what teens do these days, right? :p And guess who's on Charmed Chaperoning duty at the school dance? Yep, Rose McGowan! Try breaking all the rules by watching the video below. |
Last but not least, Coldplay's latest video for "True Love". If you thought Chris Martin's relationship with Jennifer Lawrence was weird, wait until you see this clip, because it's absolutely mindboggling! From people into giant fat suits to ballerinas and hobos. I really have no idea what this clip is about, but there must be some type of hidden message in there somewhere. Either way, watch Chris Martin get his pliƩ on in a fatsuit below. |
