Kanye West has made some pretty “artistic” videos (see: Flashing Lights) but his new video for Coldest Winter tops them all. Yes, it is beautifully shot and it must have cost a complete fortune to make, but I’m not sure if I’m a fan of watching a sad woman who kind of looks like my friend’s girlfriend running through the woods. In terms of music videos out there today though, this may be the best one I’ve seen in a minute.
KANYE WEST “Coldest Winter” Directed by: NABIL “ITUNES link below” from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.
I’m so glad this song got a video! I’ve always loved it. I’m surprised that 808’s is still getting video releases, though.
I’m surprised too
Me, three. Shocked, actually.
It may just be me… But that womans breasts bouncing up and down in slow motion was the only thing I could pay attention too… And I kept wondering where her nipples were, cuz her boobs are like OUT of that dress!
Very Tim-Burton “Corpse Bride” inspired.
I thought it was Leona Lewis first.
The song isn’t amazing but I enjoyed the video
yes, it is beautiful. but i don’t find it fits the song very well. and yes, her boobs were very disconcerting.
Boobs, as a rule and there are exceptions, are never disconcerting.
Amended Rule: Notions of woman-boobs are almost never disconcerting. Notions of man-boobs are almost always disconcerting (And if they’re not to anyone out there, no need to discuss. Your fetishes are your fetishes, respectfully.).
Strike the *almost* from the man-boobs portion of the amended rule. I couldn’t get myself to stand by it, even in the best interests of openmindedness.
Oh my God. He ripped off Tears for Fears!!
I guess I’ve never heard anything by kanye before…or if I did I wouldn’t recognize it. I can’t believe such a douche could sing such a pretty song. Also is it just me or did that not sound at all rappy or hip hoppy or r&b-y?
o.0
You’re right. But his entire Heartbreak and 808s album was auto-tune singing. Hardly any rapping from Yeezy hinmself. Btw I love 808s. My favorite album of his. Is there a video for Robocop?
Okay I thought this was awful. Seriously. the graphics were alright but the whole direction of it looked like a student project. And her boobs were ridiculous.
What’s with all the banschee-looking guys? I’m not a fan of this song or video, but I can tell that a lot of people WOULD like it. That being said, I’m really hoping he doesn’t win some stupid “best video award” next year at the VMAs. America will never hear the end of it.
girl needed a sports bra on with all that jostling.
all i could think about while she was running was does that hurt and are they going to fall out?
Dumb and boring.
I think he’s gotta stop watching Harry Potter movies… What a copycat..
