Ahead of John Legend's upcoming album "LEGEND," he teamed up with Saweetie for his newest single, "All She Wanna Do," and the music video just premiered. Here are the things to expect in the disco-themed music video.
The multi-awarded singer's music video was directed by Christian Breslauer, reports say. The vibrant music video involves some dancers who thought they were just auditioning for the music video, only to be surprised by Legend and Saweetie.
The set and theme of the music video are apt to the lyrics of Legend's song. It follows the singer meeting someone who loves to dance.
On one side of the set are the dancers who, at the start of the video, are unaware that Legend and Saweetie are on the other side of the room. They perform freestyle moves, showing off their talent and skills.
The Surprise
Then out of seemingly, nowhere, Legend, clad in a shiny pink ensemble, and Saweetie, in a flowy and sheer lilac number, pop out to join them. The dancers shocked yet thrilled expressions are caught on camera as the two join them.
In other clips of the video, the wall dividing the set opens, revealing Legend and Saweetie from the other side, and they dance along. Towards the end of the video, Legend and Saweetie trade their colorful clothes for something more muted. However, the lights in the set bounce off of it, giving it a glow-like effect while the rest of the dancers joins the two.
Towards the end of the video, they reveal that it was not an audition-they have been accepted, and the clips they just filmed would be part of the music video.
Saweetie commended the dancers and told one that their energy could be felt through the walls, "I said, we got a hot one over there."
"I've been here for I don't know how many hours," said one dancer, "but the women that I've met are incredible, and the industry needs more stuff like this."
The music video is now on YouTube and has garnered over 19 thousand views. Fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the music video.
"I love how real and so down-to-earth John Legend is!" a user commented.
A mother-in-law of one of the dancers also commented on the video saying, "John Legend is an Authentic Artist; His music has always 'Tickled' my Heart. I've listened to his music throughout my journey with cancer. Congrats to my daughter-in-law, Kingnylaa, for being part of this beautiful video and song."
New Album Soon
Legend's eighth album is slated to be released on Sept. 9 via Republic Records, Billboard reports. The album will see a myriad of collaborators on the tracklist.
Among the collaborators are Saweetie and JID, featured in "All She Wanna Do" and "Dope," respectively. Other collaborators include TY Dolla $ign, Jhene Aiko, Ledisi, Rapsody, Jada Kingdom, Muni Long, Jazmin Sullivan, and more.
In a statement, Legend revealed, "Until this point, I've never used an aspect of my name as the title of an album. [...] This is me saying I'm proud of who I am, I'm confident in the work I've done, and I'm just going to declare it."
