Colette Carr Asks "Why Are You Leaving"

So what if I'm bad at predicting things? I often times state my opinion, which turns out to be completely wrong in the end. So what? I'm still hot. No, we aren't talking about Luciana today, we are going to talk about Colette Carr some more. Don't roll your eyes at me! There can never be too much cCarr! Check out the video for her new track "Why Are You Leaving" featuring Kev Nish from Far East Movement.



Can we take a moment here to talk about how gorgeous Colette looks in this video? I mean she always looks good, but here we really see how pretty she can be when she's dolled up. She has been in the spotlight making a name for herself for a good while now, and seeing her all-grown-up was a bit of a shock at first. The only word that comes to mind is "gorgeous".

As for the video, it is a pretty simple set up wherein cCarr is walking about town looking for her lover who has abandoned her and having to deal with the emotional void he's left. While not a lot of action actually occurs over the course of the shoot, it does feel very emotionally charged by being so well tied in with the subject matter of the song. It may not be as energetic as "Back It Up" or as career changing as "Primo", but it does have a strong standing for itself and leaves an impression.

What I really enjoyed was being able to isolate a member of Far East Movement. I haven't followed them closely over the years, so I hadn't seen what each one was capable of on their own. Many people may not know who Kev Nish is just by his name, but his flow is distinctively FM, and with the right push, this song and video have the potential to allow Kev to sway from the pack mentality of being in a musical group from time to time and allow him to shine on his own again.
