A little less than a month ago, I posted our first Music Video Roundup. At the time, I expressed a desire to turn that feature into a semi-regular piece. As such, I have 5 more videos for your viewing pleasure. Once again, I’d like to encourage you to share your thoughts down below or via twitter.
1. Yeasayer – Madder Red
About a week ago, Adam posted the new MGMT video for their track “Congratulations.” But, shortly before MGMT unveiled their video, Yeasayer dropped Madder Red. Why is that pertinent? Well, mostly because they have similar plots (both involve sick monsters). Having said that, Yeasayer’s video is better executed and it features Kristen Bell, whom I’m willing to watch do just about anything.
2. Drake feat. Lil Wayne – Miss Me
When Thank Me Later was released in mid June, Drake mentioned that “Unforgettable” would be the album’s third single. That plan went out the window when radio latched onto “Miss Me.” I wasn’t sure how the video for “Miss Me” would turn out since Wayne makes up about half the song, and he’s still incarcerated. But, director Anthony Mandler does some really cool things with footage that Wayne supposedly shot before his prison stay began.
3. Riva Starr feat. Noze – I Was Drunk
I stumbled upon this video thanks to our friends over at Daily Tunez. Apparently, the song is a huge hit over in Europe right now. It doesn’t really seem like something that would play here in American clubs, but the video is all kinds of awesome. Rather than explain it, I’ll simply suggest that you watch.
4. Cee-Lo – Fuck You

It seems like this song has been everywhere but the radio lately, and that’s simply because of it’s chorus. With most major news outlets touting the song, it was only a matter of time before Cee-Lo released a video to accompany the track. Rather than overdoing it, Cee-Lo lets the song speak for itself here.
5. Jason Reeves – Helium Hearts
Jason’s music is little bit different than what we typically feature here at Newestra, but he’s one of the most talented songwriters of our generation. “Helium Hearts” is the lead single from his forthcoming album. The video, like the song itself, is about love in its purest form.
