Carly Rae japsen - This Kiss (MUSIC VIDEO)
It’s been a long wait for Carly Rae Jepsen‘s solo follow-up to “Call Me Maybe” (her duet with Owl City on “Good Time” notwithstanding), and the video for her new single “This Kiss” has finally premiered. So does it deliver on the anticipation? Yeah — sort of! The J-poppy, arcade synths that comprise the instrumentation of “This Kiss” would have suggested (to us, anyway) that a hyper-vibrant visual style would have made sense, but instead, “This Kiss” is mostly shot through a dark, charcoal glaze, with lots of shots of dark, crowded dancefloors and Jepsen’s smoky makeup. It still feels ’80s — the clothes give that away — but aesthetically, the video doesn’t totally translate for us. Although we’re probably just bitter than we missed yet another killer party with a game of Suck & Blow.
