Every year select members of the Academy of Media Tastemakers, specifically those who specialize in scents, review a number of the year’s artisan fragrance, to determine their top picks. See who’s on the list, and what you should try now!
Today’s TasteTV music video pick is by Dua Lipa, called “New Rules.”
The song was recently ranked as the official UK NUMBER 1 song and the first solo female #1 since Adele’s “Hello.”
The staccato beat is refreshing, with a repetitiveness that is catchy but also improvisational. The lyrics are a great match with the actual music video visuals, which show a love sick disenchanted woman learning the new rules of relationships and hookups from her various friends, and then eventually passing them on to others in need. The well synchronized dance routines are choreographed yet spontaneous, ranging in locales from a hotel bedroom, to the bathroom, to the hotel swimming pool.
The video filters and styles have a flashy nouveau tropical vibe that makes the viewers feel cool and hip, especially when seen with the multi-hued designer sunglasses worn by her diverse multi-ethnic ‘posse’ of advisers and friends.
In this video, the ladies literally walk on water. Once you start humming, “I’ve got rules, I’ve got rules,” you’ll find the Dua Lipa ear bug has been caught for this song. The rules are contagious.
She is currently on tour around Europe, Asia and the United States. We certainly look forward to seeing her act live!
