What's Hot

will.i.am has released a brand new video for his track “This Is Love, a track from his upcoming solo disc #willpower that was produced by Steven Angello. In the clip, which features Eva Simons, will.i.am plays piano in front of London’s Tower Bridge, Skypes with an excited audience and lets his computer get awfully wet in a rainy deluge.

The video starts out during the day, as a red-suited will.i.am sings and plays piano in front of the bridge. On his nearby laptop, Simons croons the chorus while an audience rages in a club. As the video continues, the night and the rain fall on London and that laptop gets pretty wet (still appears to work though). Later a string quartet appears and we get sucked into the crowd in the club, which is full of women whose tops all appear to be falling off. Is there a story? Depends on how you define story. Watch below:

What do you think? We like the London setting and will.i.am looks surprisingly classy in that red suit. But what’s really going on here? Will it surprise you to learn that will.i.am directed this video himself? He tweeted, “iamsoproud because thisislove is the 2nd video I directed…the 1st was ‘where is the love’ 10years ago…” He added in an interview with Capital FM, “The first place that I ever had success was here in the U.K. and it was a song called ‘Where Is The Love?’. Throughout my whole career after the success of ‘Where Is The Love?’ – I found the love and it’s here in the U.K. and that’s why this [track] is [called] ‘This Is Love.’”
