A wolf. Theatre stage. Solar system. Two Natashas.
It´s artsy, but the new single Pearl’s Dream by Bat For Lashes is beautiful and deep.

Watch the video for Pearl’s Dream below:

Hold The Line is such an excellent, original track.  The production, the collaboration, the lyrics like “Vibrate like a Nokia”. Too bad, the leverage is lost with this video.

My favorite song at the moment is Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Heads Will Roll”. The song is so good that´s it´s actually hard to find a good Heads Will Roll remix.

The multitalented Lady GaGa asks her Swedish lover “Älskar du mig?” (Do you love me?). Unfortunately the lover is a bad guy (True Blood´s Eric) and pushes Lady GaGa off the balcony. The video or short film for Lady GaGa´s 4th single Paparazzi is directed by Jonas Åkerlund (Madonna´s Ray of Light).

Update from Kanye West:
IT HURTS ME TO SEE THE OLD AND VERY WRONG VERSION OF THE PARANOID VIDEO GET LEAKED ALL OVER THE NET WHILE I WAS ON AN 11 HR FLIGHT AND COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT’S JUST FRUSTRATING WHEN THIS STUFF HAPPENS BECAUSE I REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND SINCE VIDEOS NEVER GET PLAYED ANY WAY YOU MIGHT AS WELL TWEAK THEM AND MAKE THEM AS SPECIAL AS POSSIBLE. THE VERSION THAT GOT LEAKED FROM THE CAMERA PHONE LAST WEEK IS AT LEAST A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FINAL PRODUCT. THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SUPPORT BUT THAT VIDEO WAS NOT UP TO MY STANDARDS. HERE’S SOME SCREEN SHOTS FROM THE REAL VIDEO
———

Rihanna has no singing part in this video. She´s simply an object.
And the video is plain eye candy.

But hey, Kanye doesn´t read books, so that explains the certain level of intellectual unsophistication.

Watch the video for Paranoid by Kanye West below:
