;a mess
Christina Aguilera - Accelerate (Official Video)
I like the song, it’s sort of a dissonant mess that makes sense the more you listen to it.
The video’s pretty good, too. Very Dooo it.
The song and video are a bit of a mess personally. The track’s strong moments lie with her vocals (as expected), however the hip-hop sound she is exploring again doesn’t come across as being as authentic as as it did back in 2002 with Stripped.
I watched the video a few times but found it a bit gross to be honest. As a gay man I don’t find that kind of imagery appealing. Having heard the demo of Fall In Line, this video seems a massive contradiction to those lyrics. I’m not in love with Accelerate but I bought it anyway (because that’s what fans do, right?) AND I will snatch a copy of the album when it comes out too, because while this didn’t snatch my wig and send it into the cosmos, I know she will bring some sultry amazingness on the LP.
