What makes a hit video? Is it the visuals, the director, the hype at the time? Is it “something special” about the artiste or choreography?
The TEENage Hitvid will pinpoint the hits and the misses of both local and international videos when the full feature begins. Until then though, a preview of the latest video by international recording artiste Drake which was shot in Jamaica will be previewed until released.
Video Preview – Find Your Love by Drake
Drake is the first successful actor turned rapper since Will Smith. Last year he released So Far Gone a heartfelt emotionally driven mixtape that took the world by storm with its lyrical content and singles Best I Ever Had and Successful. The success of So Far Gone led to various collaborations with noted artistes including Jay-Z, Timbaland, Mary J Blige and Lil’ Wayne whom subsequently signed him to his Young Money Records imprint.
Drake’s first single Over has already been serviced a video and his second single which has yet to be released titled Find Your Love video was shot last week in the Kingston Metropolitan Area.
Find Your Love was directed by internationally renowned director Anthony Mandler who has videos such as John Mayer’s Heartbreak Warfare, Usher & Will.I.Am’s OMG and Drake’s first single Over in his catalogue for just 2010 alone.
Find Your Love was shot over a two day period. Scenes in Port Royal were shot the first day and scenes at The Building and Cassava Piece were shot on day two.
Cameos expected include artistes Mavado, Stacious, Wayne Marshall and local dancers such as Mystic, Hya Style, Ravers Clavers, Shady Squad and more.
