Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, Adam Rippon

Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying, of the Grammy Award-winning a cappella group Pentatonix, teamed up with Olympic medalist Adam Rippon, for their new music video, a cover of the 1988 When In Rome hit, “The Promise.”

Recorded under Grassi and Hoying’s side gig as Superfruit, the boys deliver an updated version of the song as Rippon returns to the ice for visuals.

Rippon recently announced that he’s retired from competitive skating, but great to see he’ll still indulge his fans with a skate here and there 🙂

Beautifully shot and edited as Rippon glides and spins effortlessly around Hoying and Grassi.

Nice for a Saturday 🙂

Music Video: Pink “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken”

Following up her powerful, stripped down performance of “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” on the Grammy Awards this weekend, pop star Pink has now released the music video for the song.

The black and white video features Pink’s signature scorched-earth vocals while wearing a simple white t-shirt. Pink leaves behind the intricate staging and choreography she’s known for giving us pure Pink.

She also shared via press release that she hopes the song will inspire folks to donate to UNICEF.

“As a UNICEF Ambassador, I am proud to work with an organization that supports and empowers women and children around the world. In honor of this incredible organization, in honor of this video for ‘Wild Hearts’ and in honor of girls and woman all over the world standing up for themselves, I am going to be making a donation in all of your names to this wonderful organization and I encourage you to do the same if the spirit moves you.’”

Gay Couple Produce Adorable Video To Roxette’s “Good Karma”

Totally adorable gay couple Jakub and Dawid recently married in Portugal and then honeymooned in Scandinavia where they shot and produced this officially sanctioned music video for Roxette’s “Good Karma.”

The couple had previously produced a video for Roxette’s “Some Other Summer” which went viral racking up over 579K views on YouTube.

Said Dawid, “It was totally different than recording our first video. This time, we got an official permission from Roxette for our recordings so our hands were a bit shaky because we knew that such a legendary band were going to watch it.”

The results are way cute, and so reminiscent of classic music videos.

Tove Lo Gets Down With A Muppet In New Music Video “Disco Tits”

I love that the press release for Tove Lo’s newest music video, “Disco Tits,” begins with the words “pop provocateur” because it’s just about as accurate a description as you can get. This is a wild and wooly affair.

“Wooly” in part because her co-star for the road-tripping vid is a Muppet who gets down, gets high and more. You may not want to watch with folks you don’t know too well.

Directed by long-time collaborator Tim Erem and shot on location in the California desert, the video is a tongue-in-cheek take on a day-in-the-life-of the notorious Swedish pop star.

“Disco Tits” is the first single from the upcoming album, Blue Lips, due later this year via Island Records.

According to Tove Lo, “Disco Tits is about losing yourself with your new found love. Naive, excited, no consequences. The happiness in the haze I’m feelin right now.”

Listen to “Disco Tits” below. Warning – NSFW.

Music Video: Youngr “’93”

Check out Youngr’s latest single – ’93 – which is a fun retro look at the way social media has changed the way we all connect (or disconnect) compared to life in the ‘90’s.

The video for ‘93 features current live footage of Youngr on tour mashed up with home footage shot by his mother in the ‘90’s.

Via press release: “I wrote this song about social media and how I try not to let my life depend on it or change who I am! It’s about trying to remember how everyday life was before social media took over. The video is a play on that, it’s home video footage of me as a kid growing up, just having fun and playing music in a much simpler time before facebook and iPhones.”

Song Of The Day: Pink “What About Us”

Pink’s striking new music video for “What About Us?” is as stunning as it is timely.

Making a powerful political statement, “What About Us?” puts the focus squarely on the communities whose rights are in danger in Donald Trump’s America: minorities, same-sex couples, and immigrants.

We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willin’, we came when you called
But man, you fooled us, enough is enough
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?

The video was directed by Georgia Hudson, accompanied by evocative choreography via the Goldenboyz.

And, there’s a gay relationship center stage for much of the video.

And as Pink was releasing the video, MTV announced she will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2017 Video Music Awards on Aug. 27.

I’m a big fan of Pink. I loved the song when she first revealed it a few weeks ago. But she puts the disenfranchisement of many Americans in the spotlight here.

Which makes me love her even more.

Music Video: Lady Gaga “Perfect Illusion”

Check out Lady Gaga’s music video for her new single “Perfect Illusion.”

This is the first single to be released from her upcoming fifth studio album entitled Joanne out Friday, October 21st.

I’m a fan of Gaga, but this music video is a tad busy to watch with the uber-cuts and flashing lights, etc.

And there is the issue of that key change in the song.

That said, I’m sure it will still be a hit for LG.

Thoughts?

Music Video: Snakehips “Cruel” Featuring Zayn

Back in the day, you could chill for hours watching MTV music videos without ever knowing what they were trying to say.

Snakehips new video for “Cruel” featuring Zayn Malik is the kind of trippy, sexy video that feels cool even if I have no idea what it’s about.

Non-stop, hyper-color imagery with a groovy, electro-vibe, mid-tempo beat and a brooding, smoldering, easy on the eyes Zayn, and you got something going on. I don’t know what, but I like.
