PSY, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd: 5 Striking Music Videos of 2022

We can't keep our eyes off these compelling visuals by artists who bare their souls through music videos

A powerful visual can do so much for a single track. It's important for musicians to express themselves through music videos, not only to garner the attention of more fans but to provide them with a clearer vision of the song's true meaning. It's always interesting to see how artists reimagine their own writing.

Browse below to see which artists have released their striking music videos this year:

'That That - Psy featuring Suga of BTS

Anyone will want to get up and dance when they see Psy's new music video for That That, which features Suga of BTS. In true Psy fashion, the video is an eclectic mix of group dance, humour, and style. One will also see the artist horse around with the K-pop star.

The Heart Part 5 - Kendrick Lamar

For the first few seconds, viewers might assume Kendrick Lamar's The Heart Part 5 is as simple as it looks. Long-time supporters, however, already know Lamar's videos are often filled with symbolism and stunning cinematography.

Out of Time - The Weeknd

The Weeknd is renowned for his visually pleasing music videos. For Out of Time, however, the viewers watch a more compelling story that follows his album Dawn FM's narrative. The artist is seen having fun with Squid Game star Jung Ho-yeon before the video took a chilling turn.

Vegas - Doja Cat

Doja Cat recently released a music video for her newest single, Vegas, from the upcoming movie Elvis. The reel portrays the artist's culture, an ode to the blues, which was one of Elvis Presley's influences. It also includes a special appearance by the brilliant Big Mama Thornton—the original singer of Hound Dog—whose voice is also featured on the track.

Everything - Kehlani

Have you ever seen a hip-hop music video for a heart-warming ballad? The Everything music video shows R&B artist Kehlani soulfully singing her heart out in her usual environment. The edgy hip-hop elements are then balanced well with the gentleness of Kehlani's voice and other soothing details.
