One bangin' Sunday! It was a big wild night for Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on Sunday night, when the three celebrated performers took the stage to open the MTV's 2014 Video Music Awards, performing a medley of their own singles and their new hit "Bang Bang," and later dropping the music video, which is set to go off like a bang and shows the most glamorous sides of all the ladies. Despite the song's message, it's the kind of song, you put on when you want to dance and let loose and that's exactly what the three manage to do.
The chart-topping track, which is produced by Max Martin, serves as the first cut off of Jessie J's upcoming third studio album, "Sweet Talker," due out on October 14th and also appear on the deluxe version of Grande's sophomore studio album, "My Everything," released today. Backed by clap-heavy production, and built over big bouncy beats and horn blasts, the up-tempo soulful and powerful song is composed of piercing vocals courtesy of two contemporary crooners, as well as rapid-fire spitting from the hottest female MC on the planet who really steals the show with her verse.
The video for "Bang Bang" was shot on the Paramount lot in Hollywood by Hannah Lux Davis who said: "The concept of the video is really about girls coming together and partying it up." Takes us to the streets of New York and beyond, the retro-inspired clip (with shades of the '60s and '70s) opens with Grande, 21, hangs out in her neon apartment as she applies makeup and prepares for a performance; Minaj, 31, then enters a shot, strutting in stilettos and leopard print and takes us above the concrete jungle, as she climbs into her private helicopter drops her off on the helipad on top of one of NYC's skyscrapers.
And finally Jessie J, 26, makes her appearance on a steamy NYC street, driving down a busy thoroughfare in a hot rod and shakes her groove thing with her friends. The trio of divas then break it down in respective scenes shine and shake their booty while singing they turn the streets of Manhattan into a pink paradise." While they take their 'bang bang' action out on the middle of the NYC streets and into the room, the video is certainly not a let down as the dynamic pop trio then come together on the rooftop, wearing brightly-colored skimpy outfits. It makes us wish summer would never end!
