KnockturnaLIST: The Music Videos of 2017 that We Loved

ELECTRONICA/DANCE

Grimes ft. Janelle Monáe – Venus Fly

Album: Art Angels (2015)
Director: Grimes

For anyone who has ever listened to Grimes, this music video, sponsored by Tidal, is as perfect a depiction of her inner mind as one could get. The video is intricate and heavily-laden with slow motion shots and colorist intensity. Monáe and Grimes embody warrior-superheroes, brought to battle in the most dreamlike and artistically satisfying of visuals. Keep an eye out for Beauty and the Beast-esque rose parallels.
