For the video “I Dream in Neon” by Dirty Beaches, director Michael Lawrence traveled to Germany to collaborate with Alex Zhang Hungtai (aka Dirty Beaches) on the project. The dark and partially autobiographical video features Alex as a the main character, highlighting what Michael describes as him putting “everything” into… Read More

There are lots of singing shows out there, you guys. So many, in fact, that it’s pretty difficult to keep track of all the winners, let along all the finalists. However, the girls in X-Factor finalists Fifth Harmony seem to have enough talent and personality to break out of the… Read More

On Friday Karmin released a video for their first single off of their upcoming studio album, Pulses. The song is called "Acapella", and it's a definite departure from the duo's previous work in a lot of ways, not to mention the styling and use of toast. The video premiered on… Read More

When trying to come up with an idea for a music video, if there is an image that you can’t get out of your head, it’s best to go with it. Director Ben Fee couldn’t get the idea of flesh out of his head when coming up with the concept… Read More

Another week of music videos in the books, great job all around, gang. We want to start by congratulating Ellie Goulding and director Mike Sharpe for their video “Burn” holding on to the number one spot this week, with Britney Spears and Marc Klasfeld’s “Ohh La La” giving them a… Read More

Yesterday the video for "Ooh La La" by Britney Spears was released to promote Smurfs 2, featuring Spears and her children. She's in full Mom mode here - basically mugging for the camera with animated Smurfs to a theatre full of small children. It's a fun, colorful video and smurfs… Read More

There have been plenty of songs and music videos about relationship troubles. However, not many of those videos take the approach that Ellis Bahl took for the video for "The War" by Josh Record, where the troubles are reflected not only in Josh’s performance, but in the atmosphere and actions… Read More

Somewhere in the history of America, somebody decided that making fun of the French was not only okay, it was awesome and should be encouraged. What culture out there is more stereotyped here in the USA if not the French? It's not just baguettes and mimes, we're defintely down for… Read More

Last month, a bunch of music video directors got together with a bunch of kids from The Bronx to work together for a week on a bunch of awesome video projects - mainly music videos. It’s called OMG! Cameras Everywhere, and we’re pretty sure you’ve heard of it already because… Read More

If you love ABBA, you are probably thinking that since they broke up in 1982, they probably don't have a lot of music videos for you to watch. Well, you'd be wrong. Very wrong. ABBA has music videos for pretty much their entire singles catalog - we have 32 videos… Read More

The Benny Boom directed video for "V.S.O.P." by K. Michelle is a classic example of the relationship video. It features K. Michelle looking fly in a variety of cool outfits, from low cut tops to high-wasted pants, and co-stars a dude who’s so handsome that it’s intimidating. The video highlights… Read More

The leaked version of Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead” music video, which was spread around the internet pretty freely yesterday, is apparently not the official version. “The BLKKK SKKKN HD video that leaked yesterday was not the official version,” Kanye tweeted. That’s pretty much as definitive as Kanye gets. And, since… Read More

Each offering Ross McDowell and Ben Murray (aka Bullion Collective) have created for Disclosure has brought a different light to their music, starting with the MVA-nominated "Control," and then followed by "Latch," both in 2012. Their newest video, "F For You," breaks new ground as Disclosure's first performance-led music video.… Read More

Director Ian Perlman takes an extremely personal approach to the stock-footage music video. Rather than downloading a bunch of footage from web archives, Ian used old footage of his own family in the video for "Together/Never" by Oberhofer. Pulling footage from two VHS tapes shot by his grandfather, Ian is… Read More

Beck just turned 43 yesterday, and for a guy who is still young, he's had a pretty varied career. From his early low-fi stuff, to being a 90s superstar, to sad acoustic albums, Beck has had a lot of career "eras" in a relatively short amount of time. My favorite… Read More

Before there was DVR, if someone wanted to save something from TV, they would have to get some blank VHS tapes and record it with their VCR (usually with the red audio cable left out because most old TVs didn't have the input for it). Often times, they’d be taping… Read More

There's only a few things we're pretty sure humans were doing thousands of years that we still do today. Other than the classics like staying warm with fire and killing each other, watching other humans move around to music is gotta be on that list somewhere. That's what makes dance… Read More

Eelier this week, when Hannah Lux Davis released her music video for “I’m Out” by Ciara and Nicki Minaj, we predicted that the GIF making members of the internet would enjoy the inspiration that this video provided. A few days later, and our theory was proven correct. So correct, in… Read More

It was a holiday week here in the states, with most Americans spending the past few days combining alcohol, children, and explosives together into a blinding, deafening display of independence. However, as we all know, music videos don’t take holidays, ever. The top two videos from this week (Ciara’s “I’m… Read More

Here's my confession: I was actually a little bummed with LMFAO announced they were taking a hiatus in 2012. There's always going to be artistic bands making great music and there will always be pop groups making party music, and as far as party music goes, LMFAO knew what they… Read More

July 4th is full of symbols like flags and fireworks, but what about all the other great American things out there that don't get any love? I'm not talking about the marquee items like baseball and NASCAR, but the things you may not even notice as being particularly American, like… Read More

Director Ollie Evans took a high brow meets street culture approach when directing Zomby's video for "With Love," which divides four tracks ("Ascension," "Sunshine Iin November," "Overdose" and "Memories") into different scenes in the video. Set in a warehouse-style church, the cycle of life and death is played out by… Read More

At my Aunt & Uncle's house in Barrie, Ontario there is a CD rack with a copy of Alanis Morissette's 1991 debut album Alanis. It's a goofy, Debbie Gibson-eqsue record which spawned a few music videos, including the awesomely hilarious "Too Hot". Oddly enough, it does not show up on… Read More

A few weeks ago, the internet was taken my storm by 8-year-old Sophia Grace’s debut music video, "Girls Just Gotta Have Fun," directed by Matt Alonzo. The video features Sophia in her signature tutu (made famous through Sophia’s many appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show), packing as much sass as… Read More

In the later 1990s and early 2000s, Radiohead had a real talent for creating some folklore around their music videos. I'm thinking about the final moment of "Just" or the holding-your-breath stunt in "No Surprises". Somewhere in 2003 they decided all their videos were going to be dance and/or computer… Read More
