Song Ideas

CHANCE THE RAPPER - ANGELS 

This is my first choice of song to do a music video to because Chance is one of my favorite artists and the song itself has a good vibe to it. There is already an existing video for the song which does not use the stereotypical conventions of a hip-hop music video which is what I like about it so much. The song is very friendly to listen to and it always puts me in a good mood whenever I listen to it.

DRAKE - HOLD ON WE'RE GOING HOME

Hold on we're going home is an option for me because it is a unique type of hip hop song and is rare because it contains no explicit language at all. It is a lot slower and explores themes of love and more. There is also an existing video for it which is quite dark but I think if I did the video for it then it would be quite different. This is one of the most popular Drake songs so if I was to do the video to it, I feel like it would reach out to a lot of my target audience.

TRAVIS SCOTT - PICK UP THE PHONE 

Pick up the phone is a song about the artists thinking their girlfriends are cheating on them and that's why they aren't picking up the phone. The song has a very upbeat tone to it and contains some explicit language hence the parental advisory logo. The song also already has a video which is very explicit and follows a lot of the hip hop conventions including women, drugs and so on. However if I was to do a video for it, I would put my own twist on it and make it more viewer friendly.

KANYE WEST - ULTRALIGHT BEAM 

Ultralight Beam is another strong option for me to do a music video to. It is a very unique hip-hop song because it contains a choir in it and a gospel singer of some sort. The song also doesn't have a music video already for it therefore I could do my own thing for it without basing it on an existing video. I know the song very well and therefore I could lip sync a lot of it. The song also does not contain a lot of explicit language which makes it a good option for me.

KANYE WEST - ALL FALLS DOWN

All falls down is another song with a very good vibe to it. It was considered as Kanye's breakthrough song and is more of one of the classic songs he has done. The song is also quite different because it contains a female singer who sings the chorus and is in the background of the whole song. There is already a video to the song however if I did choose to do it, I would put my own spin on it.

WHAT NEXT?

Now I need to choose one of the songs to do my music video to. I will make my decision by asking my target audience on what they think would be the best option and also thinking for myself what song I have the most ideas for.
