What time is it? It’s time for…Kreyolicious Music Video…in which I air my thoughts about a music video done by a Haitian artist or group. Today’s Kreyolicious video is “Je Veux M’envoler” from the group Dat7, directed by Abdias Laguerre. Join me your favorite chick Kreyolicious as I do frame-by-frame review of this music video. Let’s go!
Oh, a lone beach. A woman walks all alone. An extreme introvert?
A palm tree and a woman (the one from the previous scene?) kisses a dude. For a minute there, they almost look like Siamese twins joined at the face and the shoulders. Is that a metaphor for their closeness and level of intimacy.
Look at that water. It gives new meaning to that Will Smith one-liner: “Water so clear you could see the bottom.”
A pair of legs. Objectification this early in the video?
Oh, a male chest. That eerie stare that dude is giving reminds me of those stares you see in trailers for slasher films. Gives me the willies. Is he going to play a stalker in the video? Murder on the beach? Let me not get ahead of myself here.
Wow, this scene is just plain gorgeous. That grass looks like it got a million-dollar manicure. Like wow. And that water. Like wooh.
What’s the dude doing? Exercising? Checking his kicks. Ooh, he sure got some nice tape.
Seamless editing by Oriol Vatelia as usual.
Here comes the female lead in the video. Is she the same woman who was in the opening scene? And were those her legs we saw earlier?
A little bit too perky, aren’t we?
Separated only by a few paces.
Clearly this isn’t their first meeting. Looks as if they have the same jogging route and today they decided to finally say hello, or take things further than a quick, “Hello”.
Where is she taking him?
Wait, isn’t this the same perky girl? Is it a new girl? Ooh, she looks rather agitated now. Holding up a phone. He did something bad, didn’t he? Did she find an incriminating text on that phone or a salacious voicemail. Girl, what’s wrong? Ooh, that’s some nice marble in that kitchen. Very clean kitchen I may add. And look at that candle burning. Romance in the kitchen or just a scented candle to rid the kitchen of cooking odors? Well, he looks very collected and calm. What gives?
Oh, not the hand to the temples expression? Podyab, she must have some kind of pwoblèm.
A shrug of the shoulders. Bet he’s disputing her claims, even with evidence. This is not the same girl at the beginning of the video, is it? This one has a bob, where’s the other one’s hair was longer. Or is that to mark the passage of time? Let’s a take a pause right now, as I collect my thoughts so far. Will this be one of those videos where a past and present relationship are going to be compared and contrasted? One of those, The Ex vs. The New Babe? Alright, unpause. Let me keep watching to see if I have the plot of this music video down.
Alright. It looks as if it’s the same one. Kinda. With the exception of the aforementioned length of hair.
He looks defeated.
Wonder what type of lip gloss she uses. Okay, it doesn’t look as if it’s the same girl, but they sure look alike. The eyes of the chick at the beginning of the vid are slanted. The eyes of this argumentive girl (though I’m sure she has her reasons) are wider. She looks like she’s big on makeup whereas the other young woman is simpler, and more sporty.
She’s going off.
An empty plate. A low-lit table. A metaphor for sadness, loneliness and alienation?
Oh, a romantic dinner. But is that empty seat supposed to be his?
Oh, what natural splendor. What beautiful scenery. Wooh-hoo!
Bright orange, huh?
Oh, here’s the happy-faced chick. Oh, a serene walk down a forest path.
This is not the shade of lipstick worn earlier.
A boating ride. Finally the sunglasses come off.
Someone please save me from this uncertainty. Are there two different women, and he’s having a getaway with the side-woman, while the “main” woman is sitting at a dinner table all alone? On one hand, it may be two women who look alike or one hand, it may be one of those women who look different, depending on the angle. But it can’t be the same woman…can it? There’s the two lipstick shades. One has a pointier chin than the other, and longer hair, and has a perky countenance and the other is squabbling.
Happiness on a beach.
Oh, so this is what has gotten her upset? A report on a website!
He dismisses her with a wave of the hand, and she walks off. Is it over?
Oh, that’s a cute bathing suit she’s got on.
The sun has fallen.
A deep kiss.
Wild beach-side ride.
Night time swim.
According to studies, swimming lessens stress levels.
Oh, a beach-side romantic dinner.
So, he’s giving the side woman a romantic dinner, while he ditched the other’s own planned romantic dinner.
And look at her…
Oh, look, he’s shocked to find her sitting at the dinner table, all alone.
Look at her figi.
Is tonight supposed to be a relationship milestone, and he forgot all about it?
Look at him hiding from her like some coward! He ought to be judged in the tribinal lanmou, in the next video! And the judge (and the all-female jury) should find him guilty and should sentence him to perpetual labor!
