PREVIEW KANYE WEST’S “POWER”

PREVIEW KANYE WEST’S “POWER”

Here’s a preview of Kanye West’s highly anticipated “Power”. Kanye tweets,


The NYTimes got a preview of the new video, here’s what their description:


In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

Director Marco Brambilla talks video & Kanye West:


In a telephone interview, Mr. Brambilla explained that he was drawn to the project because, he said, “It’s kind of apocalyptic, in a very personal way.”

Speaking of Mr. West’s track “Power,” which includes refrains like “No one man should have all that power” and “This would be a beautiful death,” Mr. Brambilla said: “It had this very dark, personal conflict within it. Because of his own concept of celebrity and his own notoriety, he’s keenly self-aware of all these things. And it all came out in the music.”

This is Kanye & Marco’s attempt at answer the question: “How do you visually paint a portrait of power?” WOW!! I can imagine how AMAZING this video will be!

After putting on a stellar performance at BET’s Music Awards, opening up a twitter account, making an apperance at the
Facebook and Twitter offices to perform a cappella raps and pose for photographs…Kanye is back in good graces with the American public! POWER!
