IR in Music Videos thread

Yeah she could've turned this into a movie with how good everything here was. And one of the only mainstream pop stars at the time doing an IR in her music video.

 

Jamie Foxx's 2010 hit with Drake "Fall For Your Type":





The main chick in the music video is played by model & former playboy playmate Jessica Burciaga.

 

I don't know if anyone has posted this here, but I found this:

 

Country singer Kane Brown's current hit single "Thank God" featuring his wife:

 

Tyga's 2022 single (with Jhene Aiko & Pop Smoke) "Sunshine":

 

Drake's 2020 hit single (with Lil Durk) "Laugh Now Cry Later":

Travis Scott's artist Don Toliver's 2021 single with singer Kali Uchis "Drugs N Hella Melodies":

 

Swae Lee's (of the rap duo Rae Sremmurd) 2018 single "Guatemala" (featuring his brother/the other member of Rae Sremmurd Slim Jxmmi):

 

The Weeknd ft. Future - Double Fantasy (Official Music Video)

 

That's such a lazy-ass music video. Not only do neither The Weeknd or Future appear in the music video, the music video consists entirely of stock footage from the show. No original footage was shot for this music video.

 

I took it as a promo video for the show.

 

Huh? The Weeknd is the guy the lead female is interacting with throughout the entire video. Hello?? That is the part he is playing. You don't see Future however because all of the moments in the video are apparent clips from the show and Future isn't in the actual show. A music video was not filmed for this song. Instead, as you have correctly guessed, they edited enough moments from the show to make a music video out of it. This has been something that has been done forever. Plenty of music videos for shows and especially films have followed the same formula. One of the inspirations for the album is Purple Rain. One of the music videos for Purple Rain was Lets Go Crazy which was nothing but compiled clips of the film. And don't get me started on the actual "video" for the song "Purple Rain."

 

Its a promotion for both the show and the song itself. The Weeknd is doing an entire album soundtrack for the series.

 

I probably need to go look up those 2 Prince music videos, but I've never seen a music video for a song off a movie soundtrack that used only stock footage from the film.

 

I'm late to the game on this one (probably distracted from 3 years of covid pandemic).

I know the song well from day one, just never saw the video she made (3 years ago), until yesterday.

Personally, she emits zero chemistry with him, except when lying on him on the couch and strumming guitar.
Great optics video, though. Very nice.

 

Yeah I never could get into this Taylor Swift music video. I assume it flopped becuz I remember it came & went on the charts.
