Directed by Cameron Duddy and Harper Smith, the video for “Hold On” by Colbie Caillat feels almost like a music video version of a ballet.

Every time I watch a Colin Tilley video, all I can think about is how bad I wanna be there. Like in the video for “Ride” by SoMo, where we open on SoMo walking around an awesome house on a beautiful day – a place I definitely now want to… Read More

When it comes to bizarre, visceral images, I think music videos have everything else beat by a mile. Especially in the last 10 years or so when the internet has made everything a little bit stranger, music videos have taken the lead in getting weirder and weirder. So today on… Read More

Using a sample from Jermaine Dupri’s 1998 song “The Party Continues,” “Dance With Me” by Le Youth ft. Dominique Young Unique feels like a modern version of a 90s dance track. The Tim Nackashi-directed video for the song is also a callback to 80s/90s vibes, set on a fashion video… Read More

“Comme un elephant,” the latest single from French musician Saint André, is a song about a clumsy guy who, while feeling like a “bull in a china shop,” sings about his love for a beautiful woman. Directed by Roboshobo, the video finds Saint André in an office setting, filling the… Read More

Directed by Kinga Burza, “Goodness Gracious” by Ellie Goulding is an energetic video featuring Ellie and some friends running, dancing, and skateboarding around a neon, almost futuristic version of LA. It features some really extreme color effects from Kinga and colorist Duncan Russell that almost made them lose their mind.… Read More

  If you spend any amount of time watching music videos, you've probably come across your fair share of "backwards" videos. When you think about it, music videos are really the only medium you can have everything literally backwards (as in not just having your scenes backwards), and it's a… Read More

“So Strange” by Superhumanoids (one of our favorite videos of 2013) is a beautiful, poignant, and unexpected video directed by Taylor Cohen and David Altobelli.

Last weekend, though, Ke$ha decided to RT our new music video… Read More

The video for “Dare You” by Hardwell featuring Matthew Koma tells the story of a bunch of young people in a big city being brought together by music - specifically the dance music provided by Hardwell. Directed by Alex Herron, the video opens on people by themselves doing everyday things… Read More

Yesterday, St. Vincent released a video of her standing still while the audio from her new track, "Digital Witness" plays. First of all, it's pretty clear from both the track and her new grey hairstyle that David Byrne has been a big impact on her. Also, whether or not Clark… Read More

Christina Perri fans will be able to pick up right away what is missing in the beginning of her new music video for "Human", directed by Elliott Sellers. Sitting on a white pedestal in a white room, Perri's signature tatoos are nowhere to be found as light flashes in and… Read More

  When a music video is made, one variable is whether or not the people making it know if a song is going to be popular or not. Some videos are made for songs that are already extremely popular, or definitely will be popular because of who the artist is.… Read More

Like last week, there weren’t many music videos released this week. However, there were still some pretty awesome stuff in the handful that did come out.

Inspired by a… Read More
