Kanye, once again, has held captive our attention. And this time, no one got offended.
Since its premiere last week on MTV, Kanye West’s artistically intriguing music video for “Power” has fascinated the music and entertainment worlds. Amidst images depicting religious undertones and others making references to Greek mythology, stands a motionless – yet intimidating - Kanye.
As he does in all his art, director, Marco Brambilla, creates a brilliant masterpiece with “Power.” The video is so engaging, in fact, that you have to remind yourself to listen to the lyrics. “No one man should have all that power,” chants Kanye. Speaking of power… this is the same man who basically drop kicked America’s sweetheart on national tv during her big moment less than a year ago but whose one-week-old video has more than 6 million hits on YouTube.
True story, folks. This is the same man who boasted a 300,000 person Twitter following in just 2 days. And no one man should have all that power, huh?
Kanye leaves you pondering…which is more mesmerizing, the lyrics or the video?
The video’s imagery symbolizes Kanye’s fall from grace – the tragic loss of his mother,
failed romantic relationships,
and his becoming the VMA villain. In the full version of the song, he admits he “just needed time alone with my own thoughts.” With the past several years he has had, a water cooler, conversation piece like “Power” is exactly what the PR team ordered.
Now that we’ve all been teased with Kanye’s 90 intense seconds of artistic genius, we can all look forward to his performance at next month’s MTV VMAs.
Yep, guys, MTV has welcomed him back to their stage.
Now, how’s that for power?
