Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 20, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
So here's a question: What is the most watched music video by a black solo artist? If you guessed something by Jay Z or maybe Rihanna, you'd be wrong. It's actually "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj, #21 on our top videos of all time chart. "Super Bass" is Minaj's top… Read More

Music Video Relapse: "Wannabe" (1996) by Spice Girls, Directed by Jhoan Camitz
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 19, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
First music videos for artists are difficult - the artist needs to be introduced to an entire market via one concept, and the video can often stick in the public's head as their mental image for that artist. For instance, if you think about the Spice Girls, I think about… Read More

Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 16, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
If you are compiling a list of music video performances that look like they were really uncomfortable to shoot, I've got a great entry for you. It's the tune that I think is one of the most fondly-remembered singles of the late 1990s by rock fans - 1998's "Inside Out"… Read More
Music Video Relapse: "Warwick Avenue" (2008) by Duffy, Directed by Daniel Wolfe
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 14, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Hey remember Duffy? Back in 2008 or so Duffy and Adele were kind of a "wave" (do two people constitute a wave?) of ladies from Europe who had strong voices and one name. Adele had "Chasing Pavements" and Duffy had "Mercy". Adele was from London and Duffy was super Welsh… Read More

Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 13, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Hey you want to know something weird? Before today I'd never seen a John Mayer music video. Not even one one, and I don't really know how that happened. It's not like I'm not a John Mayer fan - when I saw him in concert in 2002 he couldn't even… Read More

Music Video Relapse: "Cameo Lover" (2011) by Kimbra, Directed by Guy Franklin
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 12, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Music videos are sometimes just a good excuse to do some really weird stuff. I'm not talking about the stuff that is overtly and self-conciously odd, I'm more thinking about the stuff that, when you are watching it, you go "wow this is weird". So since it's Monday, we might… Read More

Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 10, 2013 in New Releases
Super groups come in all shapes in sizes, but there is only one super group that can get away with song titles like "Sex Never Felt Better", and that is TGT, a group made up of Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank. Their latest video, directed by Benny Boom and for their… Read More

Music Video Relapse: "Yellow" (2000) by Coldplay, Directed by James & Alex
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 9, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
One shot music videos are hard. They usually depend on the charisma and camera presence of one artist, and can fall pretty flat or just seem lazy if not done right. However, when it works, it works really well. For instance, Coldplay has done a lot of music videos, but the only… Read More

Music Video Relapse: "Men In Black" (1997) by Will Smith, Directed By Robert Caruso
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 8, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Movies and music videos go together really well. If you have a song on your film soundtrack, why not make a music video and then put some clips in there of your movie? But allow me to take it a step further. What if your movie had an actor who… Read More
Mumford & Sons Want You To Know They're In On The Joke In "Hopeless Wanderer"
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 8, 2013 in Commentary
Sunday afternoon, we noticed a lot of tweets and Facebook posts directing us to the new Mumford & Sons video for "Hopeless Wanderer". People were very careful not to reveal the concept of the video, but since it's been out for a while, I think we can spoil the fact… Read More
Music Video Relapse: "I Wanna Go" (2011) by Britney Spears, Dir. by Chris Marrs Piliero
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 7, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Based on our music video watching history, there seems to be a sort of "sweet spot" in an artist's career where they are up for pretty much anything in the music video department. Maybe they are looking to try something different or shake up their image a little bit, but… Read More
Music Video Relapse "Rude Boy" (2010) by Rihanna, Directed by Melina Matsoukas
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 6, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Have you ever sat down and really listened to "Rude Boy" by Rihanna? It's one of my favorites because it was on top 40 radio at the time of its release, and it contains lyrics like "Come here rude boy, boy. Can you get it up?" When you are hanging… Read More

Music Video Relapse: "Alfie" (2007) by Lily Allen, Directed by Sarah Chatfield
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 5, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
The first frame I ever saw of Lily Allen in a music video made me a fan. In the opening shot in 2009's "Smile", I'm almost positive she's eating an Aero bar - my favorite chocolate bar. Allow me to describe the Aero bar. It's a chocolate bar with air bubbles… Read More
The Most Popular Music Videos Released This Week (8/2)
Posted by Doug Klinger on August 2, 2013 in Most Popular Music Videos
Here we are again, the end of another great week of music videos. Some people might think the word "end" is a reference to the frequency of butt-related videos that appeared in this weeks most popular list, and they would be correct because it is. One video that didnt have… Read More

Posted by Doug Klinger on August 2, 2013 in New Releases
If you are a group of girls trying to levitate one of your friends at a birthday sleepover and you actually succeed, there is the question of what to actually do next. In the case of "The False Alarms" by LA electronic band Fol Cehn, the post levitation doesn't go… Read More
Music Video Relapse: "Magic" (2010) by B.o.B ft. Rivers Cuomo, Directed by Sanaa Hamri
Posted by Adam Fairholm on August 2, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo spent a lot of his early career being a brooding front man. He had one of his legs extended to match the length of the other in the mid-90s, for example. That's a great brooding front man move. Somewhere around the mid 2000s, however, Rivers Cuomo… Read More
