This is a pretty weird video, but at the core of it seems to be the story of a young woman in a dystopian future just trying to find her place in the world, or at least in this futuristic mostly-lesbian sex club. Who knew this was part of the narrative behind Lana Del Rey's 2013 single either? That might not have been her original intention with the song but it's working here, even if it's crushing us. Good lord, what is with these sad videos where cute couples take pictures/videos of each other and then one of them dies? Can this trend stop being a thing, because these music videos are just getting us too emotional. Ellektra also seems to make these kinds of videos a lot, so hey, we'll take them. However, this video is nothing if not blunt and honest, not to mention wildly riddled with lesbian imagery. A) subtlety is dead and buried in this song and B) the narrative seems to be that those 'crazy lesbians' bring beer and corrupt all the innocent women. This video is hysterical for a few reasons. Did you really need to find that man, Jennifer? Everything seemed pretty great where you were already! This video mostly ends up being about Jennifer Aniston and her eyeliner's quest to find the right man, but on the journey she meets many adorable gay girls who dance and party it up happily together.
"I Want to Be In Love" - Melissa Ethridgeĭid you think this list would happen without Melissa Ethridge? Of course not. Everyone's living their best life in this rockin' video for Demi's summer single, and that's totally cool with us.ħ. Once again, like in Timebomb, all sorts of couples are shining equally. We didn't expect to be so blown away by this video when it was released, yet here we are watching it over and over again. Tove Lo's already great song got even better when the video showcased several couples, including a lesbian one, experiencing all sorts of intense feelings on a beach. Maybe make sure a tissue's available before pressing play on this one. Why do good music videos make us cry so often? In "Another Story," Pretty Little Liars' Troian Bellasario plays one half of a young couple in the '50s/'60s-ish that suffers a terrible tragedy and leaves us with many emotions. Oh, who doesn't love Mary Lambert? And who can stop themselves from singing that chorus right along with her? "She Keeps Me Warm" is pretty much a classic, and this video did it all sorts of justice.Ĥ. Hayley Kiyoko, another new young artist on the music scene, won us over with this beautiful and tear-jerking portrayal of young love going through tough times. Enjoy!īright colors, swelling pop beats, and genuine sensuality. There are certainly some interesting videos in the world with some narratives (and lesbians) you may have never expected your favorite songs to have. But hey, at a certain point representation is representation, right? There's truly a lot to love here, a lot to question, and a lot to sing along to loudly regardless of our feelings.
Of course, "Ghost" is one of many fantastic videos featuring lesbian/bisexual imagery and we'd like to take a moment to applaud the collection, as well as side-eye those who use queer female imagery for seemingly exploitive purposes. Halsey's debut album Badlands comes out on August 28th, and it's definitely one we'll be awaiting eagerly. She talked candidly about her many identifiers with the New York Times earlier this month, and her openness and honesty is just as evident in her music. The video features a passionate, romantic relationship between two women set to Halsey's pulsing though lightly meloncholic beat, and Halsey herself isn't shying away from her bisexual identity.
The 20-year-old pop artist is rising to fame at record speed, and when you check out the music video for her song "Ghost," it won't be hard to see why.
