This video has been a long time coming. I had been looking all over for anything on the video, but as always, the Cherry Tree family was tight lipped about the project -- and they should be. It made watching the video for the first time even better. I first caught wind of the filming a few months back when fellow artist and close friend of Colette's, Simon Curtis mentioned that he was learning choreography for a new Colette Carr video. Both Colette and Frankmusik both announced soon after that the video was a go, as well as a new single.
The video is a throwback to Grease. The first half of the video mimics the beginning of the movie's song "Summer Loving" and the later half of the video pays homage to the climactic race scene. It is a combination of the outfits, their attitudes, and the right timing that make this video phenomenal. While it doesn't have a whole lot to do with the song content, it keeps the fun energy of the track, and adds a bit of cute campyness to the situation. I did find it a little strange that Colette and Frankmusik don't kiss in the video like Sandy and Danny, but I figure Ms. Carr was just staying classy with it.
The video, for now, is only available on AOL (watch it here) but seeing as there is an obvious VEVO logo, I'm sure it will be up on Youtube soon, and I'll embed it here for those of you who aren't link clickers.
