Massive Attack – The Spoils ft. Hope Sandoval

by Alternative, Chillout, Electronic, Pop / Synthpop / Dream Pop, Rap / Hip Hop / Trip Hop, Video • Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Massive Attack recently teamed up with Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) for a new track , The Spoils, and now they also released a follow up video for it, starring Cate Blanchett.

The clip directed by John Hillcoat shows Blanchett’s head being gradually and slowly transformed until it turns into stone. As sad and deconstructive as this process might look like, along with the angelic Hope’s vocals, it actually leaves you with some sort of a resurrection feeling. Tempting to say, a Hope feeling.

The Spoils was released along with another song, Come Near Me, on Massive Attack’s new 2-track EP.

Jamie xx- All Under One Roof Raving

Some new stuff from Jamie XX, the track written while he was on tour with The XX last year and apparently felt a bit homesick for London life. The new steel-drum-based track is a bit heavier than previously shared ‘Sleep Sound’ or ‘Girl‘, but it definitely spreads some addictive “London” vibe around.

The video was directed by Rose Pilkington.

Australian female rapper Iggy Azalea and British singer Charli XCX have teamed up and recorded ‘Fancy’ to pay tribute to the ’90s legendary ‘Clueless” film. The song itself might leave something to be desired, but the videoclip is worth watching to recall some classic movie’s scenes.

New video from quite popular recently duo Eminem & Rihanna for ‘The Monster’. Disturbed patient and sexy therapist are nothing really innovative, but Rihanna’s boobs always seem to be a recipe for success. Alright then 🙂 Video was directed by Rich Lee.

Eminem – Rap God (Explicit)

Ok, I’ve never been a massive Eminem fan, but just can’t negate there’s something interesting about this man. His recent album ‘The Marshall Mathers LP2’ is just another proof of it. The rapper can’t seem to get enough and after over 20 years on the stage, still surprises with the high standard hip hop. Check out the new video for ‘Rap God’. It definitely deserves some attention, even if your heart doesn’t belong to the rap world. Why be a king when you can be a god? Perfectly suitable, Eminem, well done.

The new Kanye West’s video was definitely ‘BOUND 2’ be spoofed quickly. The ridiculous imagery of the rapper on a moving motorcycle, simulating sex with Kim Kardashian, has already become the hit of the internet. And has just been parodied by James Franco and Seth Rogen who recreated the whole video shot for shot. It’s hilarious 🙂
