Featured review
Stunning production values. Great use of distorted imagery and Kinji Fuksaku-style close-up shaky-cam. Glorious production. Slick. Class. Style. It's like watching Prince and MJ all over again but in 2022.
It's hard to capture 32million views on You Tube but this track has done it. It is some feat. The production is like something from Wong Kar Wai or Takashi Miike. Incredibly slick and I'm really surprised to learn how young the director is as his skills are dialed-in.
It's not a particularly unique storyline so it gets 9/10 but the production; depth-of-quality and visual aspects are dialed; all the way up to 11. Great pop music. Great vocals. Excellent.
