Enrique Iglesias & Pitbull crash a no-pants party in "I'm A Freak"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Wednesday, February 5, 2014 0 comments

Living in the average man's fantasy world, Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull throw a wild massive party and, of course, craziness ensues, and get positively down and dirty with scantily-clad ladies in their new eye-popping music video for the club-ready anthem "I'm a Freak,"  the third English language, and fifth overall, single featuring Pitbull from Iglesias' upcoming album "Sex + Love," scheduled for release on March 18. This time, Iglesias is getting freaky and he is not ashamed to show it.
Unlike recent teaser "El Perdedor," which saw the 38-year-old Spanish heartthrob return to his Latin pop roots, "I'm A Freak" is an unsurprisingly pure party anthem and a decent dance-pop/electro house track featuring a typically hedonistic production from The Cataracs. Despite its wave of EDM bleeps, pulsing beats and suggestive and provocative lyrics, the song is a little more melodic and a little less bombastic than recent club bangers "Turn The Night Up" and "Finally Found You." The song still oozes enough party mojo that would probably be a crowd-pleaser and get any party animal crazy on the dance floor.
"I'm A Freak," about being a sex addict, follows in the age-old music tradition of objectifying women as male performers boast about their sexual prowess. It's actually a testament to how little the basic music video format has changed at all since the 90s - it's like if Hollywood had never stopped making "Die Hard" movies. The thing is, your initial reaction to this might be that it's a terrible load of misogynistic horseshit that to any sensible onlooker accidentally demeans the song's male participants just as much as it deliberately demeans the video's female stars. And you would probably be right.
Now the pair have hooked up for the fifth time on their newest collab "I'm a Freak," and in a house filled with women partying, the Collin Tilley-directed clip pans throughout the wild and crazy pool party with the hypnotic dance beat of "I'm A Freak," as Iglesias sings and Pitbull raps about their sexual proclivities, while being surrounded by the girls, who dance, twerk to the song and try to seduce them. The end result feels a lot like 2013's "The Internship." It marks the return of a dynamic duo (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn), being exactly where they shouldn't be, only in a scenario that somehow feels three times as bizarre and long. It's kind of a headache, but as the viewing public will likely say, "Life's a party. Crash It."

Enrique Iglesias will get your heart pumping in "Heart Attack"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Saturday, October 26, 2013 0 comments

Enrique Iglesias has suicidal thoughts in the dramatic music video for his latest single "Heart Attack," the second English single and overall the third single from the Latin star's upcoming as-yet-untitled second bilingual album and tenth of his career, due in stores in early 2014 via Universal Republic. The new visual ties in perfectly with the meaning of the song. There's Iglesias, standing perilously overlooking a scary drop!
The latest offering from the 38-year-old singer is a thrilling pop number with piano-driven verses and dubstep breakdowns. "Heart Attack" will get your heart pumping. Iglesias describes the dubstep-infused track as a more serious song for him. And with lyrics like, "I thought I never want you back / But I don't wanna live in a world without you," we can't help but notice it's the typical cycle for both men and women when it comes to relationships. In the midst of the break-up drama and reports, could this be an anthem written for Iglesias' now ex-girlfriend, tennis star Anna Kournikova?
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest, the Grammy Award-winning singer explained the writing process, he said: "I don't know why we do that. I think both girls and guys, we do that to ourselves. But it's happened to all of us and it's a story we can all relate to and you think you've learned your lesson and it can happen over and over and over again. The way I look at music and write songs, it's like when you go to the movies, and some songs are more real and some songs are more fantasy."
The video treatment drives the melodrama home, in a slick Colin Tilley-directed clip that was shot in both Santa Barbara and El Lay, and sees 'When a Stranger Calls' actress Camilla Belle playing the leading female role as Iglesias' love interest in a very dramatic relationship storyline, which traces the highs and lows of a couple's relationship. As the Spain-born singer walking into a shameful bed scene of Belle and her lover. A furious Iglesias, who obviously doesn't like getting cheated on, hits the dude and throws him to the ground. A heart-broken Iglesias' emotions then go from anger to despair, as he heads to a bridge, stands on the edge and thinks suicide. There's a band, performing up there with him in front of an intense smoke machine. It's all just so emotional.

Enrique Iglesias gets dizzy and parties in "Turn the Night Up"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Friday, August 23, 2013 1 comments

Enrique Iglesias returns and learning some urban dance moves in a brand new music video for his new club-ready jam, "Turn the Night Up," the lead from Spanish singer-songwriter's upcoming tenth full-length studio album, which is due for release this fall via Republic Records. The 38-year-old Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum international icon still remains one of the best-selling Spanish artists in history with sales exceeding 100 million worldwide.
Written by Iglesias, Niles Hollowell-Dhar, Marty James and Rome Ramirez and produced by The Cataracs, the track delivers dance floor energy with undeniable pop panache. The superstar's instantly recognizable voice carries a soaring and sexy hook, making for a sizzling and seductive summer anthem. The track has an electronic style, with sensual lyrics. "One of those powerful, fun energetic songs and when we wrote it, I was just focusing at making sure if I could pull off the vocals in the studio, I was like, 'This is it, this could be one of those fun songs'," said Iglesias during an interview for On Air with Ryan Seacrest.
Iglesias also explained the idea for the dance-pop party track actually came from a phrase he always says to his longtime girlfriend, former professional Tennis player Anna Kournikova: "You know how it started? I always walk around my house and am always joking around and there's a phrase in the song that says 'Gimme some of that.' And I'm always saying that, saying 'Gimme some of that' and doing a stupid little dance. [And] my girlfriend always starts laughing, so I went to the studio and said we've got to write the song around this!"
Iglesias gets trippy and  having fun at a house party and driving around the city chasing a girl in the Justin Francis-directed video for "Turn The Night Up," and it captures that fun night out vibe and fits the song's pre and post-hangover vibe well. As a 'trippy' Iglesias will meet a girl, played by actress Kristen Carpenter in an apartment party, and will then take her for a proper dance in a night club. Amid drinking by the bottle, club girls throwing up left and right, and display of the new Nokia phone, Iglesias will steal a kiss away from his newly-met girl.

Enrique Iglesias looking for his lost crush in "Finally Found You"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Thursday, October 25, 2012 0 comments

After being away from the limelight for some time, Enrique Iglesias is making his presence felt on the dance floor once again with another erotic steamy video for his single, "Finally Found You," featuring rapper 'Boston's Boy' Sammy Adams. The up-tempo single is the lead single released from the 36-year-old Latin-America superstar' upcoming 2013 release tenth studio album and second bilingual album, "Reloaded."
"Finally Found You," is a different feel for Iglesias, and it fuses elements from the pop, electronic, house, and hip-hop worlds. Lyrically, it talks about finally finding the girl of his dreams, and sees the Latin crooner asking his object of affection to ignore the advice of her friends and to stick with him till the end. Iglesias's vocals are heavily processed throughout the song. According to Iglesias, the song makes him "feel like a child again."
The clubby track mixes upbeat club scenes, delightful play of lights and heartfelt lyrics with propulsive dance fireworks, and the video similarly juxtaposes Iglesias sadly recalling memories of a childhood sweetheart. As he showed us in the official cover for the single, the new clip is the tale of a lifelong love plays out and shows the "little Iglesias," who remembers his first love, which comes alive in the present.
The sizzling video, directed by Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, and filmed in Los Angeles, starts off adorably enough with an innocent game of hide and seek between a young Iglesias and his sweetheart as it tells the story of a young boy's unrequited love with a girl. Life quickly fast forwards, and once Adams jumps in with his rap, Iglesias strutting into a nightclub where he unexpectedly reunites with his childhood love for a very different and naughty game and turns into in steamy passion-filled clip with make-out scenes of their full-blown now adult fling. The boy grows up and finally found his lost crush and plenty of love-making ensues.

DEV And Enrique Iglesias Play Star-crossed Lovers In "Naked"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Saturday, March 31, 2012 0 comments

Electro-pop singer Dev has team up with Enrique Iglesias released the new video for their collaborative sultry track "Naked." The sensual/infectious The Cataracs-produced party-ready cut will serve as the third single only features on the US edition of her debut album, "The Night The Sun Came Up," and the second single from Iglesias' upcoming album, "Reloaded."
Dev's honeyed, cavity-causing voice snakes and slithers around Iglesias on their sultry duet. The dance-beat song will have your blood surging through your veins and to your nether regions. It's a Eurodance-inspired club banger with thumping backbeats and synths. That's as authentic as it gets. If it was both singers' intention to get people hot and bothered by their song, starting things off on the dance floor and finishing them in the bedroom, then mission accomplished. It's an upbeat, uptempo rump-shaker.
Iglesias's sultry vocals do well with Dev's ability to talk dirty and make it sound oh so good. The techno elements of the song is what Dev has come to be known for in her tracks. It's a sweet pop song about a star-crossed love immaculately produced for the dance floor by the Cataracs. In this song "Naked" is a feeling not a physical reality. That is a nice twist that might provoke a few smiles from listeners. Also, Dev has fashioned a sweet, memorable, romantic pop tune that also works for the party and the club. The pair generate pleasing romantic heat.
Filmed in late February, the duo play star-crossed lovers in the BBGun-directed sultry visual, which takes us to a late night at the Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas where Dev is getting ready for a night out, while a perfectly coiffed Iglesias just checked in to try his luck at the roulette table. The Las Vegas mega hotel and casino is the perfect backdrop for a song about rolling the dice, a chance meeting and taking a risk with a stranger no matter what others think of it. They actually do not appear together until the very last scene in the hotel elevator just when the doors are about to slide to a close. And it exactly fuels the song's narrative.

Taking matters in his own hands, and showing off his fun-loving spirit, Enrique Iglesias has dished out another brand new video for his whistle-happy track "I Like How It Feels" and it gives viewers a little insight into the 36-year-old's life during work and play, from the sold-out performances and screaming fans to boat rides and parties. Apparently, his life even involves jet skiing with his dog. It features Cuban American rapper Pitbull, and finds the two Latin recording artists celebrating being upbeat and enjoying life.
"I Like How It Feels" is the first single to lead the re-release edition of his latest album "Euphoria," aptly re-named for the occasion as "Euphoria Reloaded," is due in stores worldwide on November 15th. It's a simple set of lyrical declarations that celebrate being upbeat and enjoying life. We've heard of whistling while you work, but Iglesias and Pitbull are taking it to the next level with this larger-than-life number.
When they team up, Iglesias and Pitbull produce anthemic, stadium-size pop records. Latest case in point: their new jam "I Like How It Feels" is backed by a simple yet strong track masterfully crafted for club success. In his sexy accent-tinged voice, Iglesias goes on to repeat many times the song's overarching message: "You know I like how it feels." And then, there is whistling! Iglesias shows off the sides of his work, loves to party and have a good time.
Iglesias turns to different direction for a newly-debuted music video he directed. Instead of releasing glossy visuals like his previous clips, the Latino lover compiles guerilla-style footage which is packed with celebrity cameos from Serena Williams, Juanes, Eva Longoria, Ken Jeong, George Lopez and Nicole Scherzinger. Staying true to the happy theme of the whistle tune, the clip is filled with high-energy live shows, backstage banter, outdoorsy fun, and night-out partying. It's fun, it's shameless and, above all, it's a gift for fans who, this way, get a delicious glimpse into what Iglesias's life must be like.

Enrique Iglesias Brings "Dirty Dancer" With Usher & Lil Wayne

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Thursday, July 7, 2011 0 comments

Enrique Iglesias and R&B heavyweight Usher are clearly banking on the idea that sex sells in their new video for the catchy dance club banger, "Dirty Dancer," the re-mixed version is the third English single comes off Iglesias's first bilingual studio album "Euphoria," and Usher's EP "Versus." Featuring hip-hop titan Lil Wayne, as the trio are watching holographic dancers in nightclubs, sing and strippers perform with a few science fiction twists.
The RedOne-produced club hit, "Dirty Dancer" is a dance-pop song with rave music influences, and is about "a comely-yet-dangerous female." Usher, who announces the song is "for the dirty girls, all around the world." Iglesias explained their collaboration to MTV News: "Usher and I had been talking for quite some time. We always wanted to work together. Usher's a great guy, extremely talented." Though the song actually came out last year, the video provides a fresh spin on the tune with a lot more attitude.
The Ethan Lader-directed video features a pole-dancer as the "Dirty Dancer" whom Iglesias is singing about. In an ode to exotic dancers everywhere, Usher sings alone in a dark room, while Iglesias has girls performing and Wayne raps, projected onto the side of a building in one of the video's many futuristic twists. Lost by the presentation of a female dancer that is never lonely, Iglesias finds himself intrigued by a woman that acts like she never sleeps and refuses to love. Entrapped by her physique and her ability to reject the possibility of emotions, Iglesias is lost in navigating his emotional pursuit in a futuristic gentleman's club.
Usher perceives the "Dirty Dancer" as a woman that does not want to love, but enjoys the pleasure of self-fulfillment by teasing his motivations. He knows that he has no chance of physically getting close to her in the computer-generated video for "Dirty Dancer." Wayne informs the "Dirty Dancer" that it's going down but only if they are dancing dirty. The girls are just illusions, all three singers turn to hologram and back, and Iglesias even sports a mechanized heart. As the video continues, the girls become customizable, and Iglesias can change from one virtual stripper to another at the touch of a button. At least until his "Credit Expires" and the girl disappears mid-kiss, leaving a very disappointed Latin pop star to end the video.

Enrique Iglesias Gets Explicit In "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" Video

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Saturday, December 25, 2010 0 comments

In what could be an early Christmas present for Enrique Iglesias fans, the Spanish pop singer is comeback continues bringing you the premiere of a brand new video for his edgy new dance track "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)," which also features DJ Frank E and rap star Ludacris. The Latin star turns up the heat big time with the newly-released video. Is Iglesias' new song too explicit? It seems that every year, American pop culture continues to push the envelope of what is acceptable in society, and 2010 was no different.
Following up his 2010 hit "I Like It", the upbeat dance track "Tonight" in which he sings about falling in love with a different woman every night, is the fifth song of the singer's 9th studio album, "Euphoria." Aol Radio Blog said that the song "aims directly for the dance floor with a galloping, club-ready dance beat, along with an insistent, heavily synthesized keyboard zipping all over the place. Iglesias's slightly processed vocals drip with confidence, and depending on which version you hear, a healthy dose of profanity as he demands some loving." Fox News Latino said "With the star power Iglesias brings to the table and a very danceable beat accompanying the track, it is conceivable that the clean version would be a hit in it's own right, but add one of the heaviest cuss words in the English language, it is basically club ready."
The Spanish singer, who is better known as a romantic crooner - much like the apple tree he didn't fall far away from, seems to have strayed a bit from his usual charismatic self, and trying hard to amp up a sexual image that doesn't really become him, being a newlywed and all. He is one of the most successful Spanish recording artists of all time known for his handsome good looks and romantic song lyrics. So Iglesias is sure not to disappoint with his newly released music which shows the star in various compromising positions with a string of attractive women.
The video for the song was filmed early this month in Los Cabos, Mexico and Los Angeles. Iglesias explains that it's "a little more cinematic, a little more of a long story." The entertainment portal of DesiHits said that "all of Iglesias's videos have been hot, but "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" takes the crown as it is quite a provocative clip." Revamping himself from a hopeless romantic into a seductive playboy in this sexy new video, filled with promiscuous women and racy sex scenes, the Spanish heartthrob finds himself getting groped by several girls and also filmed jetting off on a private plane to a luxury location where he is seduced by a blonde beauty at a casino. Meanwhile, Ludacris sits in the back of a limousine with a host of beautiful women in this cleaner version video. *Warning: The following video contains explicit content!

Enrique Iglesias | "Hero" (Video)

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Tuesday, October 30, 2001 0 comments

Enrique Iglesias (born on May 8, 1975 in Madrid), is a Spanish singer has sold over 60 million records worldwide. "Hero" is the 1st single from his 2nd English album "Escape", topped the UK charts, and #1 in many other countries. He was asked to sing the song live at the benefit concert America: A Tribute to Heroes ten days after the September 11th attacks. It was Iglesias' first televised performance of the song.
The music video for "Hero" was directed by Joseph Kahn and features Iglesias as an honorable criminal hunted by his enemies, Jennifer Love Hewitt plays his love interest, while Mickey Rourke plays one of the men hunting him. The video follows a Bonnie and Clyde-esque plot with Iglesias and Hewitt running from their enemies in the desert. Finally, Iglesias' enemies track him down and confront him outside a church. The confrontation leads to Iglesias being floored by Rourke, before being struck with a baton. The video skips ahead where we see Iglesias and Hewitt in the rain surrounded by police cars. Iglesias clutches his torso, implying that he'd been shot. The video ends with Iglesias' death. However, it is assumed that the police caught Rourke.
