MØ - Walk This Way (Music Video) [+ Review]


Oh yes, the quirky singer is back with her new music video for her latest track, 'Walk This Way', which is taken from her début studio album; No Mythologies to Follow. We love the singer's fresh edge and her unique voice, and she drawls her lyrics out in satisfying fashion in this latest track. A fuse of electronic beats and indie pop, 'Walk This Way' is seemingly another success for MØ, as the singer struts about in her usual carefree manner in the music video. 

She seems very zen and at peace with herself, kicking out the old school moves such as head bopping and haphazard dancing, and everything just feels right. Joining her on quest to inject a little bit of fun and light humour into music videos are her student followers (one of which is wearing a Virgin shirt which is a reference to the direct translation of her name, which means Virgin in Danish) who are well equipped with an array of hairstyles (like the scraped back ponytail) to take on their routine dance moves. 

If we could describe an emotion of the backup dancers in the video, it would be 'bored', and all together its pretty hilarious to see their various facial expressions as the video progresses, and its quite obvious MØ knows what she's doing. The track itself is similar in sounding to XXX, and its got that upbeat feel to it, combined with the singer's distinctive warbling; it feels highly alternative (with a bit of 80s influence) and highway-esque, like the type of music you'd hear blasting out of a roofless 4 wheel drive, along the highway with the sunset fading in the back.
