MUSIC VID REVIEWS
My favorite posts to write...are the ones that absolutely nobody asked for. It dawned on me yesterday, that the majority of my lunch breaks are filled with me watching new music videos on the market. I mean...how can you not? Sometimes it makes or breaks the song. I’m not even going to give an honorable mention to the music video that ruined one of my favorite songs...it took me 3 years to rekindle my love. Wack.
Anyways...I decided it might be useful to tell you all what music videos I have on repeat lately. Just so that you can go decide for yourself if it’s worth the time. If not then hey, I just wasted 3 minutes of your life and you can sit and think about that for the remainder of the day. Love this for us. So, let’s get started.
First up on my list, is “Compensating” by Aminé. This song is not new, but I keep rewatching the music video like it is. I briefly talked about this video in another post, so I won’t talk your ear off this time. You can go searching for the post you lil lazy. This one just has so much substance. From friends being family, to dissing people taking advantage of you, THERE IS LEVELS TO THIS ISH. Please go watch, it’s so wholesome, while at the same time petty. Kind of a 2020 vibe if you ask me.
The next one is just...wow. “Bitter” by FLETCHER and Trevor Daniel. I don’t know how many more times I can speak of this song. We are going on week TWO of me listening to it non-stop. Is it time to start considering therapy? Not sure yet, we’ll wait until week three. Anyways...this video is HOT. I won’t say NSFW because it definitely isn’t THAT risque, but it’s juicy. Fletcher is just a babe in general okay, so men, this is pretty much me doing a favor for you alright. I mean ladies, we all know Trevor Daniel is a hunnie...I know I don’t need to tell you twice. SO, with that being said, the video. It’s kind of a rollercoaster of emotions, once you get past the sexy aspect of it. The scenes show Trevor hanging out with who looks like Fletcher’s ex...or vice versa...kind of confusing once it gets to Trevor’s verse. You’ll see. Next frame, that same person is hooking up with Fletcher. Can someone help me? I’m clearly confused. Relationship people, I’m looking at you. Help a single sister out.
Lastly, since realistically we don’t want to hear about ALL my favorite music videos, is “queen of broken hearts” by Blackbear. This one is one of my favorites for reasons that make zero sense. Does anyone else love seeing actors/actresses from completely unrelated fields, in music videos? For some reason I think that stuff is so cool. The star of this music vid was also the star of an AMAZING movie. The movie is called Gifted and it’s worth the watch. Ladies...Ryan Reynolds is in it I believe...am I convincing yet? Anyways, this child is an icon. She has so much great potential in the film industry too, so it’s great seeing her branch out and do something music related. BESIDES THAT THOUGH. The song is great, and so is the music video. It’s simple, yet gets the point across. Believe me.
Anyways, that’s all from me this week. I know you want to enjoy your spooky festivities in peace...so you won’t hear from me tomorrow. Why did I write that like a break up text? It’s been a day.
‘Til next timeeeeeeee!
