In case you missed the big release over the weekend, our favorite hot me$$, Ke$ha, released a new music video for her next single, "Blow." The 24-year-old brash and driven pop singer takes aim at the TV drama's former star James Van Der Beek in the bizarre, unicorn-filled video for her new electro bumping club track. Vocally the song uses snippets of Ke$ha's yodeling, combined with heavy use of auto-tune. Lyrically it finds the singer and her friends getting ready to party in a crash pad that has "dirt and glitter" covering the floor. "Blow" could continue Ke$ha's string of success over the past year."Blow" is the second single off of Ke$ha's debut "Cannibal" EP following the Hot 100-topping "We R Who We R," which had a music video with just as much pizzazz but a lot less Van Der Beek. The song is dominantly an electropop and dance-pop song that uses a synth infused beat as a backing, while the lyrics, described as a party-anthem, portray a simple message of having a desire to have a good time at a club. Once the song starts, we are taken into full-blown socialite party, Ke$ha's vocal work throughout the song was also met with mixed reaction, some critics felt that she was both sassy and brash, while other critics felt that her personality was missing from the song.
The glitter princess party up with unicorns in Chris Marrs Piliero-directed video, which co-stars actor James Van Der Beek plays her nemesis with unicorn-licking-fun. "I think the more you try to come up with a logical explanation for it, the more frustrated you’re gonna get. Just kick back and enjoy. The credit for anything you like about the video has to go to the director, Chris Marrs [Piliero]. He came up with the concept, wrote the dialogue, shot it..." Van Der Beek stated about the music video.
After opening with the disclaimer, "No mythological creatures were harmed in the making of this video," Ke$ha is shown swilling wine at a dinner party and telling a pair of partygoers with unicorn heads about how she became "elected to the parliament of Uzbekistan." As the pulsating song kicks in, Ke$ha and Van Der Beek eye each other from opposite ends of the dance floor before sharing a feisty exchange about Muenster cheese in the middle. The pair then whip out laser guns and a few unicorns get caught in the crossfire. At the end of the video, it's revealed that Ke$ha killed Van Der Beek and that she has mounted his head on her wall with the plaque reading, "James Van Der Dead."
