Mad Max is all the rage right now and looks like David Guetta took a leaf out of that book for his latest single featuring a long list of artists, including sassy mama Nicki Minaj.
The fourth single from the French deejay's sixth studio album Listen boasts not one, not two but three different artists, consisting of the incomparable Rap Queen Nicki Minaj, Afrojack and the latest household name Bebe Rexha. Set in a wasteleand where Guetta and a bunch of desert ravers arrive in a wide range of electic party vehicles to have the time of their lives, the emveecould have easily served as a scene from the stealth-feminist flick Mad Max, while the song could have walked viewers out of the cinema.
No matter how much we love a vid, we at TRB can't help but point out things that bother us. First up, where is Bebe? For someone who literally makes the song, it's kind of a let-down that she's not there in the vid having fun with the crew (or at least appear in a bad hologram like the femcee). Secondly, what's up with the sudden red shade? It comes out of nowhere and so unncessary. Finally, why the hell is there a huge screen in the middle of desert showing SHARKS and people writhing and having rendezvous in front of it? Have these desert people never seen a TV before?
Nonetheless Guetta, next time you throw a smashing ball in a wasteland a la Burning Man, give us a call s'il vous plaît.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
