Jhene remixes her “3:16 AM” record with this ode to the Burning Man Festival in Nevada, a decidedly more positive twist on the original. Good to see her back on her hippie ish.
Chances are, if I post a preview of your video, I’m going to end up posting the full version when it drops. You already know what it is with Jhene.
SXSW had a lot of highlights, but seeing Jhene perform in person was definitely one of them. She sounded great too, which is pretty hard to do at a festival where horrible acoustics and inept soundboard operators are the norm. Impressive.
Here’s a quick preview of her lead single, “3:16am,” off her upcoming Def Jam debut. Fisticuffs on the beat.
A lot of folks complained that Jhene’s previous videos didn’t highlight her looks as much as people hoped, but that may have been a strategic move by her and her camp to emphasize the music. We get more Jhene in the visuals for “My Mine,” which, in my humble opinion, is a fantastic thing. Not only is the song good (Fisticuffs are beasts, by the way), but she seriously might be the hottest woman on the face of the earth. #shruglife
Jhene took the crown from Cassie for my number 1 crush a while back and I’m happy to say she also wins that battle musically. Here’s her video for “Stranger” off sailing soul(s), which I’m hoping is only one of many. Especially if we can get visuals for “Hoe” with Miguel and Gucci Mane that remotely resemble the artwork. Yikes.
Side note: this song is obviously speaking about guys who always want the same thing, but as I’m going through #inboxmadness, I often think of this record. I do not need you, rappers, yet I meet you every day!
Ever since I saw those In Living Color skits with Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier reciting “poetry from the hood,” this kind of stuff has been hilarious to me. Shout to McFly for sending this over.
