Stylishly taking things back to the glamour and calm of a simpler decade, Amanda Stone’s new single and video release I Want You injects retro good vibes and a catchy hook into the modern music scene.
Featuring comic-style, cinematic scenes depicting the song’s protagonist in fifties attire and settings, performing throughout a series of emotions from confident and carefree to a little more complex and ultimately uncertain, all in the name of fun for an audience, the video captivates brilliantly throughout its short yet striking lifespan.
The very nature of the song, in particular the easy repeat of the title for a hook, and the again fifties-style do-wap rhythm of the groove, suits the visuals perfectly well. The whole thing draws you in for its slight familiarity and unpredictable story-line implications alike, and that’s no easy thing to achieve these days.
A catchy number, professionally crafted and cleverly reframed and performed. Well worth a look this season.
