Now there is plenty that I love about this video. As always, the quality is on par with big time music videos. The lighting and camera styles all feel 100% professional, which really astounded me when Liz told me personally that she spends next to nothing on her videos. Crazy right? She has a very dedicated team behind her that get these videos done, and it really show that they care about what they are doing.
I also love her costuming -- or lack there of sometimes -- throughout this work. For much of the video she in in swim suits or just plain topless, showing off her body that she's worked hard for. I don't know if it is the song or the fact that I know how versatile she can be, but the sex appeal didn't feel cheap or overbearing. It felt appropriate for the setting. Speaking of the setting, it takes place in a very jungle-esque area in Costa Rica. The landscape's beauty finds it's match in Ms. Primo.
What really threw me off was the intro. In the beginning, there is a set up like there was going to be a plot line. We see Liz get dropped off in the middle of nowhere and simultaneously get broken up with via a phone call. Frustrated she throws her phone away and decides to explore around her. She knocks on a nearby door and a native child hands her an exotic flower. She steps in, the song kicks in, and that's pretty much it for that. The rest of the video is Liz singing the song, taking a dive in a lake, and looking like the winner of a Xena costume contest.
Overlooking the minor focus shift at the beginning, this video is really a good intro into Liz Primo. It's a solid song and a great video to give you visual that she is a real person. She has her style down and now she has her look down, so 2015 is really shaping up to be a great year for her. Now only if I could convince her record company to let her do a full album. Well, we can dream right?
