In December, ace rapper Cardi B teased a new single ‘Press‘ on her Instagram account. This video has been viewed over a hundred million times on Instagram.
Off the bat, fans have been aware that Press is a special song. The vibe, lyrical command and style of this song is truly unique. This is probably why it’s Instagram snippet is one of the most viewed videos of all time.
Finally, Cardi B has released the official music video for Press, and let it be known that I’m shaking and quaking with ecstasy. This video is amazing!
Cardi B has thanked the director, Jora Frantzis for making her storyline come to life. Here are the reasons why I feel Cardi B’s music video for Press can be defined as unadulterated art;
1. The Plot:
The video starts off with Cardi B kissing another lady. She then shoots a male lover and gets arrested. Here, her criminal character emerges as she murders people during police interviews, court appearances and jail time.
2. The Visuals:
Cardi B created a story. The music video for Press can even be called a short film. There’s a plot, suspense, drama, nudity and other numerous interesting elements.
3. The Fashion:
OMG!!! I’m completely blown away by the pieces Cardi B is wearing in this video. Also, while she dabbled in nudity in her music video for Money, she is fully nude and leading a bevy of naked dancers in the visuals for Press.
4. The Shock Value:
This video is filled with sex, nudity and violence. It is not safe for kids and definitely not suitable for work.
This video gives me Lady Gaga and Rihanna vibes, and these are #BossBabes so you know Cardi B really got it right.
There have been tons of reactions to this latest video by Cardi B. Here are some below;
