Ke$ha has been teasing the video for her new single “Die Young” for months now, and the clip finally dropped today. As promised, “Die Young” sees K$ as a cult leader being worshiped by a band of sexy people in the jungle — and the video is packed with Satanic imagery and Illuminati references, sexy writhing and flawlessly executed choreography, and glamour shots of a swagged-out Ke$ha having an orgy in an abandoned Mexican church.
And yet, “Die Young” is snoozier than all that content would suggest, as though none of those weird thrills are quite weird or thrilling enough, or someone on the production end didn’t commit to making the video as much of a freakshow as initially conceived. Oh well! At least she looks good.
With plenty of time to turn out exhilarating singles and videos from her upcoming LP Warrior, Ke$ha is bound to deliver something as exhilaratingly inventive as “Blow” again before too long — it’s almost inevitable. Watch the “Die Young” video up top.
What do you think of Ke$ha’s new video? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.
They reaaalllly needed to go a little easier on the post-pro fx (like A LOT easier). From the looks of it, there was some pretty good orignal footage, unfortunately I couldn’t see any of it through the faux 3D red & blue, the geometric fragmenting, and the laser shapes.
RE-EDIT PLZ
I don’t think the song is as boring as they claim but with this added video, I’m kind of confused. What does it mean? Die young and have an orgy? Meh.
Like her lyrics say ” Lets make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young”………same kind of saying as ” Live everyday like it’s your birthday”. Ke$ha isn’t actully going to die young ! she thinks ” screw it i’m guna be bad and have an orgy” enjoying herself as if she was going to die young :)
