Video of the Day
October 24, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill
Today’s video of the day comes from John Legend. Distinctly different than his debut album, Get Lifted, the Penn alum’s second effort has him experimenting with a variety of sounds and traditions.
His first single, “Save Room,” stands in sharp contrast to its Get Lifted counterpart, “I Used To Love You.” While the former was an an old-school throwback made for urban radio, the latter is a more mature, sophisticated, and eclectic work.
In the single’s accompanying video, John Legend occupies a house (and a bed) with a virtual Rainbow Coalition of women. Is this a sophisticated message about the complexity of romantic attachments, a clever attempt at bolstering his crossover appeal, or a cinematic enactment of erotic fantasy?
