Music videos play a critical role in our age of ubiquitous
streaming digital media. They project the personas and visions of
musical artists; they stand at the cutting edge of developments in
popular culture; and they fuse and revise multiple frames of
reference, from dance to high fashion to cult movies and television
shows to Internet memes. Above all, music videos are laboratories
for experimenting with new forms of audiovisual expression. The
Rhythm Image explores all these dimensions. The book analyzes, in
depth, recent music videos for artists ranging from pop superstar
The Weeknd to independent women artists like FKA twigs and Dawn
Richard. The music videos discussed in this book all treat the
traditional themes of popular music: sex and romance, money and
fame, and the lived experiences of race and gender. But they twist
these themes in strange and unexpected ways, in order to reflect
our entanglement with a digital world of social media, data
gathering, and 24/7 demands upon our attention.
