Iyaz, the soulful singer from the British Virgin Islands who made a name for himself when his iPod was stuck on "Replay," has just released a new music video for his single "Pretty Girls," the official first single from Iyaz's forthcoming sophomore album, tentatively set to drop in late summer. Iyaz holds street auditions to find his perfect match 'cause he's trying 'to pick the right one' out of bunch of pretty girls!The laid-back, R&B-tinged pop song with romance-themed Caribbean-pop verses is about all the "Pretty Girls" he sees, and it features a cameo from rapper/Gym Class Heroes front-man Travie McCoy, who raps about the kinds of girls that turn him on. Iyaz belts out over the JR Rotem-produced track. It's hard to tell whether the song is a celebration of beautiful women, or more of an arrogant declaration that Iyaz thinks he can have any girl he wants. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Life is tough for the chronically indecisive; whether you're vacillating between several equally appealing items on a lunch menu or weighing the relative pros and cons of kicking it in the front versus the back seat, it seems like the pressure's always on. Thus, it's hard not to feel sorry for Virgin Island-bred pop heavyweight Iyaz. when he laments that he's surrounded by so many 'Pretty Girls' that it's gonna take forever to pick the right one.
Shot in the sunny locale of Miami, the video sees 24-year-old crooner brings along rhymer McCoy in a quest to find ladies that catch their eye. The twosome brings along a lot of pretty faces indeed. While Iyazz grabs his camera for a graffiti-themed photo shoot, McCoy simply chills out with the babes in a summer breezy set. As for the inspiration behind the clip, Iyaz explains that he wanted to highlight the plethora of women he comes across during his travels. "There are pretty girls all over the world... To me they come in all shapes and sizes."
