New in for this week is the lyric video for Empire, by sultry Colombian singer, Shakira. The video (which you can watch below) is probably one of the best, and most atmospheric lyric videos (no weird graphics and menagerie of pointless images here, folks) and also actually fits the song - shock horror. The problem with some lyric videos is that they can be so off-topic it begs the question as to why they even bothered. But fortunately, which ever clever clog designed this video knew firmly which direction he should take, and the output is a poignant and delightful video featuring nature.
Relating to the theme of worlds, unity and being alive; 'Empire' features a beautiful showcase of things coming 'alive' as Ms Shakira belts out her track. The track evokes a rather feel-good sensation and is one of the more uplifting songs that reflects more of Shakira as an artist, than some of her more recent works. 'Let the empires of the world unite, we are alive' is particularly invigorating verse which, paired with the images of nature being alive, is pretty inspiring. So, if you're feeling a bit down and want to perk yourself up a bit, then this is probably a pretty good choice. It's interesting to see what the music video for the track will end up looking like, considering the lyric video pretty much sums up the whole general premise and feel of the song - so stay tuned to see our comments on that!
