MUSIC VIDEO REVIEW- AFTER THE STORM
One of the best music videos in 2018 just dropped on January 25, 2018. Kali Uchis just dropped the video for “After The Storm” ft. Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins, which are both incredible artists. The song possesses a melancholy beat that wishes for a better tomorrow, that displays the emotions of getting over a bad night. Kali wishes tomorrow will be kinder.
The music video is even better than the song, which gives a lot of gravity to the music. Kali Uchis is displayed with minimal makeup in the beginning as she wakes up to have her cereal. Then her makeup has yellow tones as she goes to the grocery store. Then she gets a pink and blue makeup change near the end as she is lounging in her backyard. Birds then hold up her hair to symbolize her oneness with nature. The music video shows how lonely she is by doing all these mundane tasks alone. But it also holds the theme that she is ok with being alone and is hoping for someone to save her. It seems like she is trapped in time.
It then pans out to the lawn where Tyler The Creator is a part of the grass, almost stalking her. His face is covered in grass as he raps “Kali, what you mean?, I take it offensive, ‘Cause I’m the hottest flower boy, That popped up on the scene, Feeling better, better than ever, ‘Cause your umbrella, -brella (-brella, light), Sun is beaming on me like headlights beaming on Bambi, Now let’s pretend the street is the room, And you are a Camry, ‘Cause your drama candid, The Tito to my Randy, Now let’s produce some thrillers, My chocolate wit’ yo’ vanilla, uh” I love the line about him being the flower boy because it displays he wants to be a part of her wedding while also stating his longing for her. Then it goes into Tyler taking on the weather by sitting outside for her for the whole year including all different seasons.
All the different colors that Kali is wearing shows all the emotions she is feeling, which is a great transition to different parts of the song. Kali is really in a state of constant numbness from this breakup, which shows when she sheds a tear with no emotion displayed on her face. This music video is really about a couple who broke up and they are worse on their own, and they are both longing for each other throughout the years. At the end of the song, they get back together which is certain since they miss each other so much. I love the visuals of their kids having leaves on their head. Overall this is a great music video that displays the lyrics of the song through the visuals of the seasons and different colors. Another great release by Kali Uchis and Tyler the Creator.

During an interview with Adam22 from a No Jumper podcast, XXXTentacion popped up in the conversation and Cole said that the checked out the rapper’s work after seeing the viral incident of him getting punched onstage in San Diego last year.

[NEW VIDEO] KALI UCHIS DROPS “AFTER THE STORM” VIDEO W/ TYLER THE CREATOR AND BOOTSY COLLINS
Kali Uchis just released the visuals for “After the Storm” featuring Tyler, the Creator and Bootsy Collins. This track was written as a message of solace for anyone dealing with a storm of their own. “Just because you’re losing at the moment doesn’t mean you’ve lost yet,” Uchis said. “The storm may be scary now but it’s how your flowers bloom later, and paradise is just beyond the rainbow.” Check out this cool Nadia Lee Cohen- directed video down below. It’s one of my favorite visuals from Kali Uchis thus far, see if you feeling it too.
BRUNO MARS- TRIPPING OVER HIS NEW REMIX
Bruno Mars has been shaping the industry with his massive hits like, “That’s What I Like”, “Versace On The Floor”, “24k Magic” and his older songs, “When I Was Your Man” and “Just The Way You Are.” His 2016 album “24K Magic” really showed his growth as an artist, and you could definitely hear the Michael Jackson influences. He sets the standards for musical growth from going from a sad boy who sang about heartbreak, to becoming a multifaceted artist who takes risks. It’s hard for other artists not to be inspired by his songs and career. “24k Magic” followed the theme of a nineties throwback and Bruno continues to do so on his latest Remix, “Finesse” featuring the biggest thing to happen in rap in 2017, Cardi B.
He really doesn’t feature rappers on his songs, besides B.o.B, CeeLo Green on his track “The Other Side” so seeing him bring Cardi B on this track is a surprise, but a great one that certainly works. I feel like this is just the start of a whole new vision that Bruno has for himself. Typically in a feature, the rap verse in near the bridge of the song, but they take a different spin on it. Cardi B’s verse is at the beginning of the song which sets up the tone and energy of a fast-paced jam. She comes back on the track near the end to sing, “yea we got it going on, got it going on” with Bruno. It is a different set up that actually works really well. It certainly paid off because it was the first song to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart in 2018. The track also starts atop On-Demand Streaming Songs (with 18.7 million on-demand streams) — the first to do so since, again, “Rockstar.” The risk that Bruno took paid off. We might see other artists trying to change up the structure of songs to give it more of an original feel but just know: Bruno did it first.
