For those of you who didn't know, sophie ellis-bextor is back!
With a new disco/dance, more refined pop extravanganza vibe, I think she sounds better than ever. Today with the release of her newest video for the song "bittersweet" she's being profiled, like one of the best comebacks of this year. (Not that we've had many comebacks this year)
The song is definitely really catchy and in some sort of way retro but it has this style and grace that only Sophie can add to it. It kinda reminds me of Dead or Alive's "You spin me right round (Like a record)" which to me is majorly wicked. Sophie looks STUNNING, from hair to make up, she's an ode to perfection, I still can't believe she's already a mum. (Congrats btw!)
Anyway, The video looks clean and artsy, not like those weird art things no one likes (e.g your average gallery full of stoned people that think the colours speak to them -ehem-), this one is actualy what I like to call "see through" art, the one that is really beautiful and everyone can find a meaning to it, their own meaning.
The use of light was very VERY cleaver, (kudos to the people in charge of the lights). Clothing wise, every dress she wore was perfect, the fitted dress of the beginning, the smokey dress she uses while jumping, to the purple dress (to die for).
The photography in it is magical, there's plenty of material in that video to create a jaw dropper editorial for any fashion magazine.
The outfits of the dancer were quite clever as well, the drooling and dreamy fabric with the puffy neck pieces made it perfect. However the hair = no, I hated the fauxhawks, they looked liked horses during one of the many fantastic moves they did during the video, next time please get them a stylist that doesn't make the dancers look like shit.
In conclusion, this video is beyond expectations (I had been waiting for this video since the song release), I actualy had invisioned this video to be sort of in a club (thank the gods it wasn't in a club), idk how it relates to the song, but let's be honest most videos now don't relate to the songs (e.g most videos HA!) So enjoy it! I know I am watching it for the 10th time today.
