Snoop Lion (formerly known as Snoop Dogg) released a video for his Rita Ora collaboration Torn Apart. And while I was a fan of Snoop before, I am really starting to dislike this Lion era. Snoop was good at making cool, slick hip hop songs, so why did he switch to reggae? I expected this Rita Ora song to be blazzin, but it's a song that I will definitely pass. The song is boring, dull and maybe, just maybe some crazy remix could make it better. The only good thing might be the video that is pretty fun. Rita and Snoop are seen on a beach, hanging out with elephants and just having a good time. But still, the video is nowhere near enough to make me like the song. I hope Snoop will stop it with this type of music, and return to what he did best.
Rita Ora just released the video for her fifth and probably last single from her debut album ORA. The video was released via HungerTV's website, and the producer was the famous fashion photographer Rankin. As you may know, Facemelt is the single I am talking about, and it is the first track on Rita's album. It is also the shortest track on the album with the length of 1:33. And it is such a shame considering the fact it is a smash. Produced by the amazing DJ Switch (who worked with M.I.A., Beyonce etc.) it is a definite stand out on the album. The sick beats and even sicker lyrics are what made the song so infectiously good. And I was hoping we would get some extended version with the video. But, I was wrong. The video lasts, like the song, a bit more than a minute and a half. And the video is pretty good. Rita looks hot while posing behind red velvet and showing her assets. I am not sure how many people will buy a single that is this short, and kinda unfinished, but I guess that's what the sexy video is there for.
