22/100 Video - "Blinding Lights" - The Weeknd (2019)

 

The cinematic video for The Weeknd's massive hit "Blinding Lights" is a great fit with the music, both atmospheric and entrancing. The Grammys can go pound sand. 

 

Pleased to see the 80s continue to inspire millennials.

This slightly sinister synth-pop groove by a new age MJ is sprinkled with lush new wave hooks reminiscent of A-ha's classic singles. 

The video was shot with a Mercedes-AMG GT roadster in a starring role and a Mercedes SUV as a chase vehicle.

2019 - "Blinding Lights" - The Weeknd

A good intro is critical and this one captivates.

Atmospheric and entrancing, this slightly sinister synth-pop groove is sprinkled with lush hooks reminiscent of A-ha's earlier albums. Pleased to see the 80s continue to inspire millennials.

Nostalgia took over decision-making in the early 2000s, influencing every fave song since 2002, starting with Coldplay (prime U2) and 2003 and Kylie (early Madonna) etc. etc. Guess that's when I stopped listened to the radio and officially became old.
