Usher released the video for his buzz single (now updated to official first single) Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home). This song has grown on me since first hearing it a good month or so ago, so I was excited to finally see the finished product. Usher and director Chris Robinson have a good formula so they once again collaborated for this project. The video lead, French model Noemie Lenoir plays Usher’s beautiful love interest, who he is eager to come home to, but ends up neglecting near the video’s end (a spoiler?). Meanwhile, Usher is seen rehearsing with a bevy of long-legged rhythic ladies for a show he will be performing. The dance moves are a little less than what I expect from Usher and co, though the ladies do put on a good show. The video aims at giving a more ‘realistic’ insight into the life of an R&B superstar, with many ups and a glimpse of the downs. It will be interesting to see what else Usher has in store for his forthcoming album, Raymond vs. Raymond. Enjoy!
*Sidenote: Although there is a radio remix to Hey Daddy featuring Plies, he was not invited to the party on this one.
GIRL! When my sister and I heard that song for the first time, we were like “what is this coonery?” But. It has grown on me
LOL @ coonery!! Yah, it grew on me quite a bit as well. You feelin the video though Ms Chelle?
It’s a cute little video. Most of the time Usher’s videos are banging. My favorite one of all time is You Don’t Have To Call.
True True, good video! I always really liked My Way!
