MV Review | VAV "Give Me More" ft. De La Ghetto & Play-N-Skillz
Before Watching:
Before watching the MV I am expecting an upbeat type song with a little soul.
When I think of "Give Me More," I think of love, friendship,
attention, etc. I still don't know much about the members, and I don't have all
of them memorized by heart. Though I did love their song "Senorita."
Music & Lyrics:
The song itself was what I expected. It was nice and upbeat with some soul
embedded into it. There was yet another guitar strumming opening in this one. I
wasn't expecting the same feel as Senorita before I started playing this, but I
was pleasantly surprised. Senorita is still my favorite however. In comparison,
this song felt as if it fell a little short. I loved the mix of English and
Spanish music and lyrics. And the rap line was spot on perfect! The ft. artist
break was a fun English spin on it as well.
Video: The video was
nice to watch. Very colorful but not bright throughout the entire thing. There
were tan colors/duller colors which I really liked. It made the brighter colors
pop out a lot more. Especially the yellows and the pinks. I loved the use of
CGI and light strokes. And any video with pineapple makes me happy! And the use
of the colorful tattoos was a nice touch to me. I have to say that the thing I
am most disappointed in concerning visuals/the MV is the choice of fashion.
While there were outfits I really liked, the combinations just seemed to
counter each other too much. And I felt as though they could have found better
outfits for the black light to make the neon pop out more. I wouldn't use black
light to accentuate neon colors unless each member had a prominent neon
color/item that would be exposed, as well as the actual set had at least
several items that would glow as well. And although they had colors that could
have potentially been used with the black light, they had the regular colored
lights in the back that kind of countered the black light. [If you can't tell,
I'm a sucker for neon/black lights]
Choreography: I
really enjoyed the choreography for this one compared to some of their other
MV's. I felt as though the post-chorus dance break choreography was perfect and
just what they needed. However, I was disappointed at the choreography for the
actual chorus. It almost seemed as if they had something better planned, but
had to ease it down. I noticed that the members seems out of sync most of the
time. Not just in this MV but in others too. It's subtle, but I catch off beat
movements both fast and slow to the point that I can’t tell which of them if
any are actually on count. Or they don't quite all make hit points. That being
said, the boys look like they're having so much fun that it can be easy to
block out. Their smiles seem genuine, and the dancing seems fun anyways.
Final thoughts: The
overall video was nice. Not something I would find myself watching over and
over again besides review purposes, but I can definitely see myself downloading
this song. It's a nice party type song or on the go/workout song. Makes you
want to dance and smile. Hair and make-up was a really nice and interesting
choice, but I still think they might need a new clothing stylist.
