When a musician brings a whole new and daring vibe to a superb music video with great dance steps and body rhythm, even the most ardent critic can’t help but applaud. This is what this enchanting music video from GiGi Vega represents.
As the name implies, the Watchu Tryna Do? lyric and dance video is a continuation of a chart-contending hit single released by Vega. The difference is that while the formal was a well-packaged piece of pop-masterpiece with different scenes featuring other people in the video, this new video seeks to put a clearer perspective into what the original video was trying to say—in LYRICS.
Dressed up like a Yoga instructor, GiGi Vega kicks off this wonderful video with incredible hands and body moves that set the stage for what is to come all through the rendition. Unlike the original video, the setting for this lyric/dance version is limited to a studio-like area decorated and surrounded by neon lights that keep changing in colors and flashing repeatedly.
As expected, every single vocal displays on the screen with excellent precision and bold fonts as such that the person watching can easily sing along. The readable lyrics could have been unnecessary since Vega’s vocal rendition is easily understood. But, being so neatly arranged and relatable, the sing-along-lyrics make the song even more engaging.
But it wasn’t the lyrics that get you to hook to this vibe. It’s the musician herself.
The dance video showcases Vega’s ability to infuse singing, dancing, and performing with a feverish pitch to the body rhyme. Every piece of her body tempo syncs perfectly with the song’s charming words. She moves with such amazing choreographic glides and sensual vigor that could make legendary pop stars like Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce salivate in jealousy.
The tune is more of a disco-pop with a bit of sadistic narrative to the otherwise pleasing vocals. No much surprise here because she wrote the song in the pre-Covid era, and we can feel a touch of that situation in the lyrics. Laden with contemporary elements, nu-disco, with a vibey indie-dance and possessive instrumentals, this new Watchu Tryna Do? version is one of the most awesome music videos out there.
Well, just don’t take my words for it. The original music video has already attracted more than 1.7 million YouTube views and still counting. So, how has this latest version fare? Of course, it is doing great already. The new video has gotten more than 102 thousand views despite just premiering on May 9, 2021. It has also attracted more than five thousand likes, with just a single downvote I suspect is from a competitor who is afraid for their music career in the pop genre.
In conclusion, this is one video I recommend that you add up to your favorite playlist. You can’t go wrong on this one. Watchu Tryna Do? dance/lyric video is the real deal for the ardent hot pop lover. Go for it.
