    Why have dancers when you keep cutting on them and not letting the viewer enjoy their moves at all? They should have been used more actively. In fact, the whole video is WAY to static for such a rocking song. And even though the chorus mentions a b-girl, why don’t they at least have a couple youngins beating their feet in this, which would be more complementary to the rhythm of the tune? The video was well shot and probably a fun live event, but the concept is kinda languid, y’all. Not hating but just critiquing. Still looking forward to the album, though.
