A couple more recently released videos for current chart hits.
Khalid – Talk
I really like the colourful sets and costumes in this one, even if there is a bit of ‘standing around by a car’.
Roddy Ricch, Chip and Yxng Bane – How It Is
Fairly typical urban-set video with lots of smoking and designer labels. I do like that there’s a scene in a launderette, which is a classic music video setting!
Back to the ’80s next Monday.
Four new hits in the chart today.
Sigrid – Don’t Feel Like Crying
It’s a nice tune, and the synthy backing track is good, but the lyrics are a bit cheesy.
There’s no official video for this one yet.
Swarmz and Tion Wayne – Bally
It’s an okay tune, but I find it a bit generic.
The video is mostly monochrome with lots of people in balaclavas. Early on there appears to be a kidnapping of some sort, but this subplot doesn’t really go anywhere.
The Plug, Roddy Ricch, Chip and Yxng Bane – How It Is
I like the atmospheric backing track. Could do with a bit more melody though.
Again, there’s no video for this one.
Jonas Brothers – Sucker
Hmm. Not a group I’d expected to get back together so soon (what happened to Joe Jonas singing with DNCE? I really liked their stuff). I quite like this track, though – it’s sort of standard tuneful pop.
The video is set in a mansion with tons of fancy costumes and excess, which seems to be a video trend at the moment.
More new hits next Friday.
