Shakira Goes 'Loca' In New Guerrilla-Style Video

The Colombian star roller-skates, hip-shakes and fountain-dives for crazy clip.
By James Montgomery

For nearly two decades now, either due to her multinational leanings (the Colombian's music is as indebted to Latin American rhythms as it is to Arabic dance, Euro disco and red-white-and-blue rock) or because she is sort of insane (see last year's <a href="/news/articles/1626493/shakiras-she-wolf-global-pop-for-the-wolf-inside-us-all.jhtml">She Wolf album</a>), Shakira has managed to carve out her own, rather indefinable niche in pop music. <div class="player-placeholder right" title="Shakira's 'Loca' Music Video Premiere" id="id:1648976" width="240" height="211"></div> On Wednesday (September 29), she premiered the video for "Loca," the first single off her upcoming Sale el Sol album (due October 19). And while it's not exactly a unique artistic endeavor — it echoes sentiments already expressed by the likes of <a href="/news/articles/1635155/matt-and-kim-call-erykah-badus-nude-window-seat-video-more-than-just-shock-value.jhtml">Matt & Kim (in their "Lessons Learned" clip)</a> and <a href="/news/articles/1634940/erykah-badu-explains-nudity-in-window-seat-video.jhtml">Erykah Badu</a> (in her firestormy "Window Seat" vid) — it's still undoubtedly her ... mostly because none of her high-gloss pop contemporaries would ever dare attempt something like it. Shot run-and-gun style in Barcelona, "Loca" follows Shakira and her crew — which includes a few cameramen and, somewhat improbably, British rapper Dizzee Rascal — on a madcap adventure that includes roller-skating, public wardrobe changes, motorcycle cruising, an illicit hop in a public fountain (a move that landed her in hot, uh, water with <a href="http://www.barcelonareporter.com/index.php?/news/comments/shakira_loca_in_barcelona_sale_el_sol_-_the_sun_comes_out_released_on_octob/" target="_blank">local authorities</a>) and, of course, plenty of hip shaking. It's a decidedly guerrilla endeavor that appears to have been done on a budget hovering around zero (aside from a performance scene, the entire thing appears to have been shot on handheld cameras). The Britneys, Beyoncés and Gagas would probably never make something like this ... and yet, here it works, mostly because, well, it just sort of seems like the kind of thing Shakira would do. For that alone, she deserves to be praised. Because unlike Matt & Kim (or Erykah Badu, really), Shakira has plenty to lose. Her albums are big events, things that resonate across continents, and it would be rather easy (or, at least, expected) for her to come out of the gate with a big-budget, glossy pop video. Instead, we get "Loca," which is none of those things, and is probably better because of that. And though it features some near-nudity and some illegal activity, the thing that resonates most about the "Loca" video is that none of that bad behavior is played up for shock value. Instead, it all helps match the kinetic, herky-jerky energy of the song itself. "Loca" is the rare video that doesn't attempt to outshine the song it's based on. Instead, it complements it. This is a very lively song, after all, so what better way to capture that than with a very lively video? There's a calculated madness to the "Loca" video, a vibrant, unchained energy, the kind very few artists can conjure up, no matter how big the budget. And, come to think of it, that's a pretty accurate way of summing up Shakira's entire career. It's called synergy, people. What do you think of Shakira's "Loca" video?

Drake, Rihanna Get Intimate In 'Take Care' Video Stills

Black-and-white photos show the two artists reigniting their on-screen chemistry in a 'minimal' way.
By James Dinh

<a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/drake/artist.jhtml">Drake</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/rihanna/artist.jhtml">Rihanna</a> get close in the long-awaited clip for the MC's single, "Take Care," as shown in video stills that surfaced Monday (March 12). Reigniting their on-screen chemistry, the two chart-toppers are seen holding each other before a blank backdrop. Simplicity seems to be the focus, as the duo sport plain wardrobes in the black-and-white images. <a href="http://www.thisisrnb.com/2012/03/first-look-drake-feat-rihanna-take-care-video/" target="_blank">ThisIsRNB.com</a>, which first leaked the images, revealed that the clip also features a "group of muscular male performers acting out tribal dance scenes" as well as shots of various animals moving in beat to the Jamie xx-produced tune. News of such a minimalistic and artsy clip isn't all that surprising, as <a href="/news/articles/1679226/drake-rihanna-take-care-music-video.jhtml">director Yoann Lemoine</a> revealed to MTV News, "They seemed to be super close and that's what I wanted for the video. Visually, it's a very humble video. ... It's not crazy. It's actually the most indie video I've done my whole life. It's probably the most famous artists, and they were so open to a project that was so minimal." Lemoine isn't the only one who had high expectations for the visual, but also Drake himself. Back in December, <a href="/news/articles/1676366/drake-rihanna-duet-video-take-care.jhtml">Drizzy Drake admitted</a> that he wanted the clip to be the best of his video catalog. "I want to make it perfect — the best video I've done to date — so I'm just taking my time," he said. "Take Care" serves as the duo's first video collaboration since Rihanna's "What's My Name?" where the pop darling takes a stroll through New York City and embarks on a flirty venture with Drake.
