One Direction's Harry Style is getting his moment in the spotlight. Sure, he was just dumped (by another clueless entertainer who seems to never say no to her business manager) but now we know more about Mr. Style as they are celebrating the success of one of their songs turned into a music video where the boys are being boys. I do not feel they band members have creative freedom--which is good because at the end of the day they are a business.
Some of their antics come to a good use in this retro music video, we see them partying on the beach, singing in a prison, and riding in cars doing funny stuff. It's a hit music video so far, it has hit 12 million views and counting in a matter of 24 hours. This is yet another syrupy sweet pop hooks, the band and its mangers have put together. The song might seem to have some shouting in it, which waters it down for me taste.
The new video shows the X Factor UK alums dressed as sailors, skiers, surfers, prisoners and more. The teasers attracted nearly 8 million views on YouTube in five days. Something about uniforms attracts boys and overgrown dictators. Zayn Malek gets a fair share of singing and fiddling around in his new music video.
The jailhouse scene put aside, there are scenes reminiscent of South Pacific, Beach Blanket Bingo and Ski School, among others. This throwback attempt to reconnect the band with older audience whose memory will remember things and times the band features.
"Kiss You" has not been released to radio yet, though sales for the song have propelled it to No. 83 on the Hot 100. It has sold 154,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Whatever it's I am sure their biggest fans who tend to be tween are stocked.
