Adele Succumbs to Temptation in 'Oh My God' Music Video
After the success of "Easy On Me," the British artist unveils the video for her new single.
This video has everyone saying "OMG."
Adele recently presented the music video for "Oh My God," the second single from her fourth studio album 30, which showcases something different than the artist had fans used to. The video was directed by Sam Brown, the director also responsible for one of Adele's most well-known and successful videos for her song "Rolling in the Deep." Collaborating together again a decade later has been quite nostalgic.
"We recorded this the day 'Easy On Me' came out, a million things were happening at the same time," Adele shared on her social networks after the launch.
From the first scene, we see how the apple, a symbol of temptation, is one of the great protagonists of this great visual work. The single is the beginning of the artist's social reintegration phase after her divorce, a period in which she doubts whether it is too early to start meeting new men.
Although the image is clearly an amass of color, the play of light and dark in black and white creates a contrast that captivates and captivates the viewer. A balance between good and evil, as the song says, "Teetering on the edge of Heaven and Hell."
Despite those early regrets and her preoccupation with losing herself, Adele eventually succumbs to temptation and begins to enjoy herself. An idea represented in the great final bacchanal, where the singer celebrates that liberation surrounded by dancers. In that last scene, she finally bites the apple from the start of the song, thus getting rid of all those doubts that were tormenting her.
The artist has also opted for fashion, changing her look no more and no less than three times throughout the video. In her first appearance, she sports a sheer polka dot blouse with a bow at the neck paired with a black corset and an empire waist skirt, all from designer Harris Reed.
This is followed by a look with a religious air that fits perfectly with the theme of the song. The singer appears in a brocade dress with a white caplet custom-designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, the Creative Director of Louis Vuitton, which the singer wears like an angel down from Heaven in front of a halo of neon light, combined with one of the essential accessories of the moment: black opera gloves.
But the best is left for last. Adele culminates this haute couture show with a beautiful red satin dress with a silk and tulle bolero by Vivienne Westwood, or as the artist calls it, "The Queens Haus." A look that leaves you speechless.
