J. Lo is sooo rich in the music video for her new single “Dinero,” featuring Cardi B. How rich, you ask? She’s so rich that when she burns a whole rack of ribs on her outdoor charcoal grill, she simply chucks it into the grass. She’s so rich that elsewhere, she roasts a marshmallow over a pile of burning money. She’s…

In the music video for his new single, “Let Me,” former One Directioner Zayn Malik seems to be in the business of delivering suitcases to a number of mob-esque guys. We open on a scene of Malik arriving at the club in what looks like Miami, bearing—yes—a sleek black suitcase and eyeing a blonde-ish girl on the dance…

Fashion Nova, the hyper-affordable online fast-fashion retailer known for featuring the internet’s most voluptuous catalogue models, is one of Cardi B’s favorites. Even as she’s become astronomically famous and accrued enormous wealth, she’s repped for the brand, a self-proclaimed “budget hoe” who appreciates its…

Amber Mark is one of my favorite emerging singers, a 24-year-old whose resonantly warm, jazz-tinged voice evokes classic house divas and liberated dance floors everywhere. She’s gearing up to release the Conexão EP, her follow-up to 2017's utterly sublime 3:33am EP, and for the first single she’s giving you a…

Kelela’s new CGI video for “Frontline,” which premiered on Insecure and was among several highlights on her 2017 album Take Me Apart, exists just at the edge of uncanny valley. Told via Sims-inspired animation, the action is broad like a silent movie, if the silent movie featured an R&B goddess cruising in a…

Kendrick Lamar again heightens the art of the music video with his SZA collaboration, “All the Stars,” from the Black Panther soundtrack. Directed by Dave Meyers and Lamar’s Top Dawg crew “the little homies,” this is an oil painting in motion, rich with imagery of Lamar rapping as opulently dressed black men stand…

Justin Timberlake is trapped in a mid-life purgatory between real self and parody. In the video for “Man of the Woods,” from the album of the same title (named after his son Silas), Timberlake traipses through the forest and takes a literal approach to the “man of the woods” marketing theme he’s foisted upon us which…

In this soft and quietly sweet video for “Joanne,” Lady Gaga gives us the best version of herself.

“I been waking up drenched in sweat,” Ansel Elgort sings, after an opening scene in which he wakes up drenched in sweat. Powerful.
