Every week on Music Video Monday, we bring you a video by a Memphis musician or filmmaker — usually both. These can range from relatively simple imagery to complex visions. But they are, for the most part, handmade, grassroots productions.
Today on Music Video Monday, we have something special. Justin Timberlake is the biggest star to come out of Memphis in the last twenty five years. His new album Everything I Thought It Was just dropped after a spectacular soft opening show in Memphis at the Orpheum. Timberlake tapped director Ti West to make a visual for the first single “No Angels,” and it’s something special. West is the director behind modern horror classics X and Pearl, and his hand is evident in this super creepy video. It’s got blood, doppelgängers, and lotsa sexy ladies. Timberlake sings “there’s no angels on the dancefloor,” but there’s no shortage of demons pulling shapes in this supernatural banger. Take a look, if you dare!
If you’re not Justin Timberlake (and maybe if you are) and you’d like to see your music video on Music Video Monday, email cmccoy@memphisflyer.com.
