Sometimes my musical adventures are like a domino effect. It starts with one artist, who leads me to another artist, who leads me to another. Thus is the case of the group Naked Highway. From RuPaul (technically) to Manila Luzon to Jared Jones -- and now Naked Highway. The adventure continues. Now, let's check out their latest video, shall we?
Speaking of Jared Jones, this video is set to the remix version he did for their song "Cause This". I really like the song itself. It sounds a lot like a Depeche Mode song, or maybe even a Blakq Audio song (who, in turn, sound like Depeche Mode). It has a dance beat with very flat and digitalized vocals. The title is also a bit misleading in that they don't repeat it one hundred times like most other pop tracks do.
As for the video, I have to say it's probably the least gay video you'll have seen on this site in a long time. No really. It's still all about the sex, but instead of man on man action, you have man on woman action. Strange coming from me, isn't it? Intertwined with the sex appeal are a lot of shots of the two singers faded over one another. I'm not a fan of this editing choice, but it fits.
This particular video is made up of shots from the original video for it which came out back in March. A few of the original shots were removed, which was probably due to the fact that the original video was over a minute longer than the remix version. The song flows a bit more smoothly in the remixed version as well, keeping it short and sweet.
The Jared Jones mix, along with a ton of other awesome mixes for this track, are up on iTunes.
Music, Pop Culture, Television, and (of course) Drag Queens.
