The new video to Little Dragon’s single ‘Pretty Girls’ is the fourth off their acclaimed studio album Nabuma Rubberband released earlier this year. It shows a young lady being dragged off a graveyard to a beauty contest scene set in the Brazilian underground. She’s initiated into the world of white-toothed smiles, pink lip stick and shiny bright dresses — and then something creepy happens. What is this video saying about today’s beauty standards?

Directed by acclaimed artist and designer Aitor Throup, the video to Kasabian‘s first single ‘Eez-eh’ off their upcoming fifth studio album is as fun as the bounce-inspiring tune. Throup’s highly conceptual approach — lots of pink and references to the running time of the song — apparently reflects the direct nature of the music. The cool cheerfulness the video exudes for sure incites anticipation for 48:13, which is — according to the band — their most straightforward and unconcealed release yet. “Less is more, you know? It’s direct. It is what it is. Just listen to it. We’ve had the confidence to lay ourselves bare. Serg has stripped it right back. It’s unbelievable,” says frontman Tom Meighan.

Die Antwoord: How Much is too Much?

Die Antwoord is back with an interesting video sure to turn some heads. Putting a new spin on the good girl meets bad boy saga, the video will shock and awe viewers into silence. Scantily clad dancers and aggressive lyrics make it very clear Cookie Thumper is not talking about your average Girl Scout cookies.

Although the video has been received with mixed reviews, there is one thing everyone can agree on, the shock factor. The controversial rap group delivered in jaw-dropping fashion to leave viewers excited, confused, inspired, and perhaps even slightly disgusted. Bandmate Ninja takes charge behind the camera, leaving wife Yo-Landi Vi$$er to take the lead in her first solo track. Ninja’s absence is hardly noticeable in light of Yo-landi’s barely-there bikini and steamy scenes with a toothless gangster.

The duo had a tough act to top following their previous video Fatty Boom Boom, but have they taken it too far? In less than 24 hours the video has received over 500,000 hits and created quite the buzz. We expect any product of this South African crew to be outrageous but this latest instalment has led some to wonder at what point does ‘creative genius’ become ‘attention-starved extremists?’ Both are entertaining if not unsettling, but ultimately it’s a blurred-jagged line.
